EDITORS COMMENTS
In this illustration from The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club by Charles Dickens, renowned British artist Cecil Aldin brings to life the iconic character of Mr. Samuel Pickwick, founder of the Pickwick Club. The image, taken from the episode "The Pickwickians at the Bathing-Machine," depicts Mr. Pickwick's face and head emerging from the water, his spectacles perched precariously on the bridge of his nose. First introduced in Dickens' The Pickwick Papers in 1836, Mr. Pickwick is a jovial, good-natured, and often naive gentleman who delights in the company of his fellow Pickwickians, a group of friends who share his love for adventure and mischief. In this scene, the Pickwickians have ventured to the seaside for a day of relaxation and amusement. Mr. Pickwick, ever the curious and inquisitive character, can't resist the opportunity to explore the depths of the sea, donning a bathing costume and diving in for a swim. Aldin's illustration masterfully captures the essence of Mr. Pickwick's character, with his rosy cheeks, twinkling eyes, and the ever-present spectacles that have become synonymous with the beloved literary figure. The water droplets cascading down his face and the sun-kissed landscape in the background further emphasize the carefree and joyful spirit of the scene. This evocative image serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Dickens' classic characters and the artistry of Cecil Aldin, who brought them to life in his illustrations for generations to come.
