EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment from Charles Dickens' novel Barnaby Rudge, beautifully illustrated by Harry Furniss. The scene depicts the aftermath of a raid on the Maypole Bar, where John Willet is left alone amidst the dismantled chaos. As he sits there, his eyes wide open but his mind in a deep slumber, one can almost feel the weight of his thoughts suspended in time. The illustration exudes an air of melancholy and introspection, perfectly reflecting Dickens' masterful storytelling. With its classical charm and intricate details, this image transports us back to Victorian England, immersing us in the world created by one of literature's greatest writers. Through this sketch-like drawing, Furniss skillfully captures not only John Willet's physical state but also his emotional turmoil. We are invited to contemplate what might be going through Willet's mind as he stares into nothingness – perhaps memories of happier times or reflections on the events that led to this desolate moment. As we gaze upon this evocative piece of artistry, we are reminded once again why Charles Dickens remains an enduring figure in English literature. His ability to create vivid characters like John Willet and bring them to life within richly detailed settings is truly remarkable. This photograph serves as a testament to both Dickens' literary genius and Furniss' artistic talent - a timeless tribute that continues to captivate audiences over a century later.
