EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Trotty Veck - The Chimes" by Joseph Clayton Clarke, also known as Kyd. Created in the 1920s 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. The illustration is part of a collection titled "Twenty-Four Original Character Illustrations to the Christmas Books" which includes Charles Dickens' famous works such as A Christmas Carol, The Chimes, The Cricket on the Hearth, The Battle of Life, and The Haunted Man and the Ghosts Bargain. In this particular piece, Trotty Veck takes center stage as a character from Dickens' novel "The Chimes". Dressed in Victorian attire complete with a top hat and cane, Trotty Veck exudes an air of elegance despite his hunched posture. His walking stick becomes an extension of his personality—a symbol of resilience amidst life's challenges. Kyd's masterful use of pen and ink combined with delicate watercolor accents brings out every intricate detail in this portrayal. From Trotty Veck's expressive face to his carefully crafted costume, each element contributes to capturing the essence of Dickens' literary world. This print not only celebrates Kyd's artistic talent but also pays homage to Charles Dickens' enduring legacy as one of literature's greatest storytellers. It serves as a reminder that even through art we can travel back in time and
