EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Littimer, c. 1920s" showcases the exquisite artistry of Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd). Created using pen and ink with watercolor on paper, this piece measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department. The artwork is part of a collection called "Thirty-Six Original Character Illustrations to David Copperfield" which pays homage to Charles Dickens' renowned novel first published in installments in 1849. Littimer, a character from the book, comes to life through Kyd's masterful strokes. In this illustration, we see Littimer dressed impeccably in a formal white tie costume befitting his role as a waiter or butler. His profile is captured beautifully as he stands tall and obediently fulfills his duties. The attention to detail highlights the fashion trends of the 1920s while also evoking an air of Victorian elegance. Through this artwork, Kyd transports us back to an era where manservants played vital roles in society. The painting not only serves as an ode to literature but also offers insight into societal norms and expectations during that time period. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, "Littimer, c. 1920s" continues to captivate viewers even today by showcasing both artistic talent and literary inspiration within one frame.
