EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the world of Charles Dickens's first novel, The Pickwick Papers. The scene depicted is a meeting between two iconic characters from the book: Sam Weller and Samuel Pickwick, as they encounter Mrs Bardell, their widowed landlady at Fleet Prison. The illustration by Phiz (Hablot Knight Browne) beautifully captures the shock and surprise on the faces of these three individuals. As they stand on a set of steps within the prison walls, their expressions reveal a mix of emotions - confusion, disbelief, and perhaps even a hint of hope. The detailed drawing showcases Phiz's exceptional talent for capturing human emotion through his art. Every line and stroke adds depth to each character's personality – from Sam Weller's mischievous grin to Mr Pickwick's earnest concern for Mrs Bardell. This image not only serves as an exquisite piece of artwork but also offers us a glimpse into 19th-century London society. It reminds us that Dickens was not just a writer but also an observer who keenly portrayed social issues through his novels. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but be reminded of the enduring power of literature and its ability to transport us into different worlds while shedding light on our own humanity.
