EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a moment frozen in time - the illustrious Charles Dickens presiding over the Newsvendors Dinner on 5th April 1870. The image, originally published in Fun magazine on 23rd April of that year, was later reproduced as a print in The Bookman in February 1912. The scene is set amidst an elegant dining hall, filled with esteemed guests eagerly listening to the renowned novelist's every word. Dickens himself stands at the head of the table, exuding an air of authority and charisma. His expressive face reveals his passion for storytelling as he delivers what must be a captivating speech. Surrounding him are men and women from various walks of life - newspaper sellers or newsvendors who rely on their occupation to make ends meet. These hardworking individuals have been given a rare opportunity to dine alongside one of England's literary giants. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation and admiration for both Dickens' literary prowess and his genuine concern for those less fortunate. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Victorian society's fascination with literature and its ability to bridge social divides. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot from history, we can't help but marvel at how one man's words could captivate an entire nation while simultaneously championing the voices of ordinary people. Charles Dickens truly left an indelible mark not only on British literature but also on society itself.
