EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Oliver Twist Sculpture, a remarkable engraving created by Stephenson in 1851. Measuring 20x13 cm, this artwork is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection. The sculpture itself was exhibited at the renowned Crystal Palace in London during the same year. Engraved by H. Ball from a daguerreotype captured by Mayall, this depiction of Oliver Twist captures the essence of Charles Dickens' iconic character. With its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, it brings to life the world of poverty, hardship, and destitution that young Oliver endured. The statue portrays a young boy with an air of innocence amidst his dire circumstances. It serves as a poignant reminder of the struggles faced by countless children during Dickensian times. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported into a literary realm where characters come alive through their enduring stories. This print not only pays homage to Charles Dickens' timeless work but also highlights the power that literature holds in shaping our understanding of society's most vulnerable members. It serves as a visual testament to both artistic brilliance and social commentary. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this evocative piece for all art enthusiasts to admire and appreciate its historical significance.
