EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the Charles Dickens novel "Our Mutual Friend" beautifully illustrated by Harry Furniss. The illustration depicts Mr. Wrayburn's clever method of ejecting Mr. Dolls from his premises, as he exhibited a tendency to fall asleep and overstay his welcome. In this classical Victorian setting, Eugene (Mr. Wrayburn) is seen holding tongs with which he picks up his worn-out hat before clapping it on his head. With determination in his eyes, Eugene conducts Mr. Dolls downstairs, ensuring that the unwelcome guest does not prolong his stay any further. The sketch perfectly encapsulates the essence of Dickens' storytelling prowess and Furniss' artistic talent. It transports us back in time to an era where characters like Mr. Wrayburn and Mr. Dolls came alive through words on paper. As we delve into this timeless piece of English literature, we are reminded of the power of storytelling to captivate our imaginations and transport us to different worlds filled with vivid characters such as these. This social commentary serves as a testament to Dickens' ability to create complex characters that reflect societal issues while providing entertainment for readers across generations. Ken Welsh's skillful capture of this iconic illustration allows us to appreciate both the literary genius behind "Our Mutual Friend" and the artistic brilliance brought forth by Harry Furniss' pen strokes over a century ago
