EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Charles Dickens' beloved character, Mr Pickwick, as he addresses his esteemed club in a scene from "The Pickwick Papers". Painted by Charles Green in 1890, this large and exquisitely detailed watercolor brings to life the opening chapter of Dickens' first novel. In the painting, we see Mr Samuel Pickwick standing on his Windsor chair with a commanding presence, just as described in the original text. His huge stomach and distinguished Victorian attire add to his larger-than-life persona. Surrounding him are stuffed birds and a majestic deer head mounted on the wall, showcasing the quintessential British decor of that era. As Mr Pickwick delivers his speech at the directors' table, one can almost imagine hearing his eloquent words resonating through the room. The atmosphere is rich with literary history and English charm. A carver filled with brandy sits nearby, symbolizing conviviality and warmth among club members. This artwork not only pays homage to Dickens but also serves as a visual representation of an important moment in literature. It transports us back to a time when storytelling was revered and characters like Mr Pickwick captured readers' hearts worldwide. Displayed at London's Charles Dickens Museum, this remarkable painting invites viewers into a world where imagination meets reality – where literature comes alive through artistry.
