EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the late 19th century and the charming old cottage on the banks of the Wiltshire Avon, which once held a special connection to the renowned Victorian novelist, Charles Dickens. Charles Dickens, a prolific writer and social critic, is celebrated for his classic novels such as "Oliver Twist," "A Tale of Two Cities," and "Great Expectations." Born in Portsmouth, England, in 1812, Dickens spent much of his childhood in Chiswick, near the River Thames, and later in Bloomsbury, London. However, it is believed that his visits to the picturesque Wiltshire countryside, particularly to this old cottage on the Avon, provided inspiration for some of his most beloved works. In this evocative image, the old cottage, with its ivy-covered walls and thatched roof, stands proudly against the backdrop of the gently flowing Wiltshire Avon. The serene river scene, with its reflections of the trees and the sky, adds to the idyllic atmosphere. The image, part of Box 330 Charles Dickens (Life and Works) slide no 34, dates back to the 1890s, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the rich literary heritage of England during the Victorian era. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear the gentle lapping of the water against the shore and imagine Dickens, pen in hand, drawing inspiration from the beauty and tranquility of the Wiltshire countryside.
