EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Hugh and Barnaby, frontispiece from Barnaby Rudge: A Tale of the Riots of Eighty by Charles Dickens" takes us back to a tumultuous era in history. The colour lithograph, created by Max Cowper, beautifully captures the essence of this fictional story set against the backdrop of the Gordon Riots and anti-Catholic sentiment. In this striking image, we see a crowd filled with unrest and agitation. The blurred motion adds an element of action to the scene as characters come together under a banner symbolizing their cause. At the center are Hugh and Barnaby, two male figures who represent different aspects of this historical movement. As we delve into Charles Dickens' narrative, we are transported to 19th century London where riots ravaged the streets. This illustration serves as a visual representation of that chaotic time period - a reminder of both the power and dangers that lie within collective action. The intricate details captured in this 20th-century print allow us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to how literature can bring forth important social commentary even in fictional tales. This print is part of a private collection and stands as an homage to Ken Welsh's dedication in preserving fine art for generations to come.
