Created using pen and ink with watercolor on paper, this artwork measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department.

These books are collectively referred to as the Christmas books. In this particular image, Mr Filer stands tall in his Victorian-era attire complete with a top hat. With an expressive gesture and pointing finger, he appears to be summoning something or someone with the chimes in hand. This evokes a sense of mystery and anticipation surrounding his character. Kyd's skillful use of detail brings this literary figure to life while capturing the essence of fashion from that era. Through this illustration, viewers can delve into Charles Dickens' world filled with rich characters like Mr Filer who play important roles within his novels.
