EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Caleb Plummer and his Blind Daughter" beautifully captures a poignant moment from Charles Dickens' novel, The Cricket on the Hearth. Illustrated by Harold Copping in 1924, this colour lithograph showcases the heartwarming bond between Caleb Plummer, a poor toy maker, and his blind daughter. In this scene, we see Caleb's daughter sitting beside him as he lovingly tells her a fairy story. Her delicate hands gently hold a doll while she listens intently to her father's words. Dressed in Victorian attire, their impoverished circumstances are evident but overshadowed by their devotion to each other. The illustration portrays the resilience of these characters amidst their challenging living conditions. Despite their meager dwelling and limited resources, Caleb takes pride in painting a dolls house for his daughter's amusement. Their clasped hands symbolize an unbreakable connection that transcends any material wealth or societal status. Through this image, we witness the power of storytelling and play as sources of joy and escape for those facing adversity. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries and can flourish even in the most difficult circumstances. This evocative artwork is not only visually stunning but also offers us insight into the themes of compassion, family bonds, and hope found within Dickens' works.
