EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mr. Hammond as Sam Weller, a beloved character from Charles Dickens' novel "The Pickwick Papers". The hand-coloured litho brings to life the theatricality and charm of this 19th-century English actor. In the image, we see Mr. Hammond fully immersed in his role, holding a boot with utmost care and attention. With his skilled hands and focused expression, he is meticulously polishing the shoe to perfection. This scene transports us back to a time when shoe shining was an art form in itself. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every crease on Mr. Hammond's face tells a story of dedication and passion for his craft. His costume reflects the era perfectly, showcasing the fashion trends of that time. As we gaze at this image, we can almost hear the bustling sounds of the theatre surrounding him - laughter, applause, and whispers of admiration for his performance as Sam Weller. It serves as a reminder of how actors like Mr. Hammond brought characters from literature alive on stage during that period. This hand-coloured litho not only pays homage to an iconic character but also celebrates the rich history and legacy left behind by these talented performers who transported audiences into different worlds through their artistry.
