EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Dickens Centenary Stamp from 1912, a remarkable tribute to the renowned author Charles Dickens. Created by the talented Scottish illustrator and painter Stephen Reid, this stamp was part of a larger initiative to raise funds for the benefit of Dickens' descendants. Stephen Reid's expertise in capturing Georgian settings and costume pieces is evident in this exquisite artwork. The monochrome composition adds depth and nostalgia to the image, transporting us back to the 19th century when Dickens' literary genius flourished. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the profound impact that Charles Dickens had on literature and society during his lifetime. His memorable characters, such as Oliver Twist or Ebenezer Scrooge, continue to resonate with readers around the world even today. The centennial celebration depicted here symbolizes not only an appreciation for Dickens' contributions but also serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. This photograph was featured in The Connoisseur Vol XXXII magazine published by Otto Limited in London during that same year. Let us cherish this moment captured through time—a homage paid by Stephen Reid to one of history's greatest storytellers whose words have transcended generations.
