EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Mr. Murdstone, the cruel stepfather from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, David Copperfield. Created in 1923 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this vibrant colour lithograph showcases a full-length portrait of the infamous character about to unleash his wrath upon his stepson. With his menacing expression and mutton chop sideburns, Mr. Murdstone is depicted wearing a distinguished frock coat, holding a cane that ominously hints at the brutality he inflicts on young David. His unkindness is further emphasized by his imposing presence and thick mustache. The vintage card itself belongs to a private collection and was originally part of a series called "Character Sketches from Charles Dickens" produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons. These collectible cards were cherished for their artistic depictions of fictional characters like Mr. Murdstone. Steeped in Victorian-era literature, this image transports us back to the world created by Charles Dickens, where brutal characters like Mr. Murdstone roamed freely with their callous actions leaving lasting impressions on readers' minds. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece of literary history through Fine Art Finder, allowing enthusiasts to appreciate both Kyd's artistic talent and Dickens' masterful storytelling in one striking composition.
