EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "DICKENS: CHRISTMAS CAROL. Ghosts of Departed Usurers" takes us back to the enchanting world of Charles Dickens' timeless tale. Created by John Leech for the first edition of A Christmas Carol in 1843, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of Victorian literature. In this haunting scene, we are transported to a cold winter's night where fear and anticipation fill the air. The ghosts of departed usurers loom ominously over a desolate street, their ethereal presence sending shivers down our spines. These spectral figures represent the consequences of greed and exploitation that plagued society during Dickens' time. Leech's masterful etching skillfully portrays every intricate detail - from the ghostly expressions on their faces to the eerie glow surrounding them. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel ourselves being drawn into their haunted world. The setting itself adds to the atmosphere; snowflakes gently falling from above create a sense of isolation and melancholy as they blanket an old moneylender's building nearby. It is within these walls that Ebenezer Scrooge learns valuable lessons about compassion and redemption through encounters with similar spirits. This evocative artwork serves as a powerful reminder that even in times when darkness seems overwhelming, there is always hope for change and transformation. It encapsulates both the chilling aspects of Victorian life while also offering a glimmer of warmth amidst its wintry backdrop – reminding us
