EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old Scratch has got his own at last, hey?, 1915" by Arthur Rackham takes us into the enchanting world of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The image, a colour lithograph measuring 15x11 cm, is housed in the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia. In this illustration from Dickens' timeless tale, we witness a pivotal moment as Ebenezer Scrooge encounters the eerie apparition known as Old Scratch. With intricate detail and vivid colours, Rackham brings to life this haunting character who represents Scrooge's future self. The composition showcases Old Scratch with menacing horns atop his head, symbolizing the devilish nature that resides within Scrooge's heart. As he hovers above an open book surrounded by other literary works, it becomes clear that these spectral figures are not mere figments of imagination but embodiments of literature itself. Rackham's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene while emphasizing the ethereal quality of these supernatural beings. Through this artwork, we are reminded of Dickens' powerful storytelling and how it continues to resonate with audiences even after more than a century. This print serves as a visual testament to both Rackham's artistic prowess and Dickens' enduring legacy. It invites viewers to delve into the rich tapestry of characters and themes found within A Christmas Carol while igniting our imagination with its evocative imagery.
