In 1882 he began studying <a href="/wiki/Wood_engraving" title="Wood engraving">wood engraving</a> in London, where he met a fellow student, <a href="/wiki/Charles_Haslewood_Shannon" title="Charles Haslewood Shannon">Charles Shannon</a>, who became his lifelong companion and artistic collaborator. Ricketts first made his mark in book production, first as an illustrator, and then as the founder and driving force of the Vale Press (1896–1904), one of the leading private presses of the day, for which he designed the type and illustrations. A disastrous fire at the printers led to the closure of the press, and Ricketts turned increasingly to painting and sculpture over the following two decades. </p><p>In 1906 he also began a career as a theatre designer, first for works by his friend <a href="/wiki/Oscar_Wilde" title="Oscar Wilde">Oscar Wilde</a> and later for plays by writers including <a href="/wiki/Aeschylus" title="Aeschylus">Aeschylus</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hugo_von_Hofmannsthal" title="Hugo von Hofmannsthal">Hugo von Hofmannsthal</a>, <a href="/wiki/William_Shakespeare" title="William Shakespeare">William Shakespeare</a>, <a href="/wiki/George_Bernard_Shaw" title="George Bernard Shaw">Bernard Shaw</a>, and <a href="/wiki/William_Butler_Yeats" class="mw-redirect" title="William Butler Yeats">W. B. Yeats</a>. His most enduring theatre designs, which remained in use for more than 50 years, were for <a href="/wiki/Gilbert_and_Sullivan" title="Gilbert and Sullivan">Gilbert and Sullivan</a>'s <i><a href="/wiki/The_Mikado" title="The Mikado">The Mikado</a></i>. With Shannon, Ricketts built up a substantial collection of paintings, drawings and sculpture. He established a reputation as an art connoisseur, and in 1915 turned down the offer of the directorship of the <a href="/wiki/National_Gallery" title="National Gallery">National Gallery</a>. He later regretted that decision, but served as adviser to the <a href="/wiki/National_Gallery_of_Canada" title="National Gallery of Canada">National Gallery of Canada</a> from 1924 until his death. He wrote three books of art criticism, two volumes of short stories and a memoir of Wilde. Selections from his letters and diaries were posthumously published. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Life_and_career">Life and career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Charles_Ricketts&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Life and career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_years">Early years</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Charles_Ricketts&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Early years"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Ricketts was born in <a href="/wiki/Geneva" title="Geneva">Geneva</a>, the only son of Charles Robert Ricketts (1838–1883) and Hélène Cornélie de Soucy (1833 or 1834–1880), daughter of Louis, Marquis de Soucy.
