EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Oliver amazed at the Dodgers mode of Going to Work" we are transported into the world of Charles Dickens' beloved novel, The Adventures of Oliver Twist. Created by George Cruikshank, a renowned artist of his time, this color lithograph beautifully captures a scene from Victorian London. The image showcases young Oliver Twist standing in awe as he observes the artful Dodger and his fellow street urchins going about their mischievous business. With wide eyes and an innocent expression, Oliver is both fascinated and bewildered by their unconventional way of "going to work". This moment perfectly encapsulates the stark contrast between Oliver's own moral compass and the gritty reality faced by those living on the streets. Cruikshank's attention to detail is evident in every element within this bustling cityscape. From the book stall where Oliver stands, engrossed in browsing through books, to the nearby shop filled with various curiosities, each corner offers a glimpse into Victorian life. The composition skillfully juxtaposes moments of innocence with darker undertones - symbolizing both hope and despair that coexisted during that era. This print serves as a reminder not only of Dickens' timeless storytelling but also highlights Cruikshank's artistic prowess in capturing complex emotions through visual imagery. It invites us to delve deeper into Dickensian London while pondering themes such as poverty, survival, and ultimately redemption – all central elements found within Oliver Twist.
