[Australia] (b 1869/d 1912)
Charles Turner was a Melbourne Lithographic Artist, designer, painter, engraver and illustrator.. Little or nothing at all is known about his student life or his Family Background..His name begin to appear with the illustration of the Book "Victory in 1880" by Garnet Walch ..; the strange thing is that if we consider the date of his birth to be the correct one he would have only 11 years when he done these illustrations... so there must be a mistake in the Birth date, because there are not much doubts about the rest of his work.. The active period of his Artistic life was located between the 80's and 90's of the XIX Century when he designed several Australia medals and some stamps for New South Wales..
