EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Illustration for Oliver Twist (colour litho)" takes us on a journey into the world of Charles Dickens' iconic novel. The image, created by F. M. B. Blaikie, transports us to a scene where a timid group of children huddle together, their curiosity piqued as they peep over each other's shoulders. In the center of their gaze lies a poor little wounded boy. The artist beautifully captures the vulnerability and innocence of these young characters, highlighting the stark contrast between their fragile state and the harsh realities they face in Victorian England. Through this illustration, we are reminded of the power of storytelling to shed light on social issues such as poverty and inequality. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, it becomes evident that this injured child symbolizes not only physical pain but also represents the struggles faced by countless others during that era. The wounds inflicted upon him serve as a metaphor for society's neglect towards its most vulnerable members. Intriguingly retold by Alice F Jackson in her book from around 1920, "Illustration for Oliver Twist" continues to resonate with audiences today. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a poignant reminder that literature has long been instrumental in shedding light on societal injustices while inspiring change.
