EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Fagin, a notorious character from Charles Dickens' timeless novel, Oliver Twist. Produced in 1939 as part of the esteemed Dickens Character Series by Copes Cigarettes, this image captures the essence of Fagin's enigmatic personality. Standing tall amidst a backdrop of shadowy figures, Fagin exudes an air of authority and cunning. His weathered face adorned with a scruffy beard tells tales of a life lived on the edge of society's norms. Dressed in tattered clothes that mirror his morally ambiguous nature, he is the epitome of a nineteenth-century rogue. A pocket watch dangles from his frail wrist, symbolizing both his meticulous planning and constant race against time. With one hand clutching a stopwatch, Fagin embodies the criminal underworld where every second counts. The artist masterfully brings to life this fictional character who has become synonymous with deception and thievery. The thin frame and overcoat draped around him hint at years spent evading law enforcement while orchestrating nefarious schemes behind closed doors. As we gaze upon this striking portrayal captured during the 1930s - an era marked by economic turmoil - we are reminded of Dickens' ability to illuminate societal issues through unforgettable characters like Fagin. This vintage print serves as an enduring testament to both Dickens' literary genius and our fascination with complex antiheroes throughout history.
