EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of Charles Reade (1814-1884), a prolific and influential English novelist and dramatist of the Victorian era. The image, taken in April 1884, just months before his death, presents Reade in matured elegance, with a full beard that frames his angular features and deep-set eyes. Known for his intricate plots and vivid characterizations, Reade's works spanned various genres, including novels and plays. Some of his most celebrated pieces include "The Cloister and the Hearth," "Hard Cash," and "The Wide, Wide World." His literary contributions significantly impacted the development of English literature during the 19th century. This portrait, with its captivating detail and timeless composition, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of a man whose imagination and storytelling abilities continue to captivate readers and audiences alike.
