EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming engraving from "The Adventures of Oliver Twist" we are transported to the cozy world of Mr Bumble and Mrs Corney as they enjoy a delightful afternoon tea. The scene captures a moment of quiet intimacy between the parish beadle and his love interest, set against the backdrop of a warm hearth and crackling fireplace. As we observe them in their Victorian parlour, it is evident that Mr Bumble is wooing Mrs Corney with his gentlemanly charm. The kettle on the fire suggests that he has taken on the role of host, pouring tea for both himself and his companion. Their faces reveal an air of anticipation mixed with affectionate glances, hinting at their budding romance. George Cruikshank's masterful engraving skillfully portrays the intricate details of this tender encounter. Every line contributes to capturing not only the physical attributes but also the emotional connection between these two characters. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a private moment shared by this Victorian couple. It serves as a reminder that even amidst societal constraints and formalities, love finds its way into every corner - even within teatime conversations by a fireside.
