EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mrs Squeers from Nicholas Nickleby" takes us back to the 19th century and brings to life one of Charles Dickens' most memorable characters. Mrs Squeers, portrayed by an English School artist, is depicted with great attention to detail and a touch of humor. The image showcases Mrs Squeers in her element as she cooks up a storm in the kitchen. With a mischievous glint in her eye and a hint of mischief on her face, she embodies both the strictness and eccentricity that Dickens bestowed upon this character. The engraving captures her larger-than-life personality perfectly. Surrounded by young boys who are no doubt under her watchful eye, Mrs Squeers adds an amusing twist to this scene. Perhaps it is through her culinary skills that she maintains control over these mischievous youngsters or maybe it's just another way for Dickens to highlight the absurdity of his fictional world. The craftsmanship evident in this print is exceptional; every line meticulously etched with care. Although some parts have been digitally restored due to trimming issues, the overall composition remains intact. This artwork not only pays homage to Charles Dickens' literary genius but also serves as a reminder of how art can bring characters from beloved stories into our lives visually. It invites us into Mrs Squeers' chaotic kitchen and leaves us wondering what other humorous adventures await within the pages of Nicholas Nickleby.
