Dickensian Dining Table Inedible


EDITORS COMMENTS
Our Housekeeping, illustration from David Copperfield by Charles Dickens captures a scene of domesticity and hospitality in the 19th century. In this lithograph print, created by Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz), we see David Copperfield and his wife Dora attempting to entertain their guest, Traddles. The image portrays a beautifully set dining table adorned with exquisite carvings and an array of uncooked meat. The attention to detail in the depiction of food highlights the importance placed on culinary presentation during that era. However, upon closer inspection, one realizes that the food displayed is inedible - a characteristic element often found in Dickensian works. This artwork not only showcases the artist's skill but also provides us with insight into Victorian-era housekeeping practices. It offers a glimpse into the meticulous care taken when hosting guests and emphasizes societal expectations surrounding entertaining at home. As we delve into this visual representation of literary history, it is important to note that this image belongs to a private collection and is out of copyright. Its inclusion here does not imply any commercial use or association with specific companies. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's collection on Bridgeman Images website, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it as well as its cultural significance within Dickens' renowned novel.
