EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a scene from Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations, featuring the character Mr. Jaggers and his clients. In the illustration by Harry Furniss, Mr. Jaggers is shown confronting two women with shawls, identified as Amelia. The intensity of the moment is palpable as Mr. Jaggers stops abruptly and directs his attention towards them. The caption highlights the power dynamic between Mr. Jaggers and his clients, emphasizing his control over their fate. His sharp retort to Amelia's acknowledgment implies that without him, she would not have been in her current position or situation. The excitable Jew, Wemmick, is also depicted in the image raising the skirts of Mr. Jaggers' coat to his lips multiple times, symbolizing reverence or subservience towards him. This black and white drawing by Harry Furniss beautifully captures the social dynamics and complex characters present in Dickens' classic Victorian novel. It serves as a visual representation of one of the many memorable scenes that unfold throughout Great Expectations. Overall, this print evokes intrigue and curiosity about these characters' stories while showcasing Furniss' skillful illustration technique that brings Dickens' words to life on paper.
