EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases Codlin, a character from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, The Old Curiosity Shop. Created in 1923 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Codlin's personality. Codlin is depicted as a partner in a travelling Punch and Judy show, who Nell and her Grandfather encounter during their journey. His portrait exudes an air of discontentment and selfishness, perfectly reflecting his misanthropic nature. With his short stature and Victorian attire, he embodies the quintessential Dickensian character. Originally produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons, this vintage card serves as a window into the fictional world created by Charles Dickens. It not only transports us back to that era but also offers insight into the diverse range of characters that populate his novels. The image portrays Codlin's complex personality with remarkable clarity. From his facial expression to his body language, every detail contributes to our understanding of this intriguing figure. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into the pages of The Old Curiosity Shop itself. This print is part of a private collection and remains out of copyright. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance without commercial implications.
