EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an early portrait of Catherine Dickens, the beloved wife of renowned author Charles Dickens. Created in 1838 by Samuel Laurence, this exquisite piece combines chalk, crayon, and pencil on paper to capture Catherine's essence with remarkable detail. Measuring 72x58 cm, it is currently housed at the Charles Dickens Museum in London. The portrait serves as a companion piece to Laurence's drawing of Charles Dickens himself and was completed during a significant period in their lives when they resided at 48 Doughty Street. This cherished artwork adorned their family home until their separation in 1858. Steeped in British Victorian charm and literary history, this image transports viewers back to the enchanting world created by Charles Dickens through his timeless novels. It offers a glimpse into the life of Catherine Dickens - her grace, beauty, and perhaps even hints at her own inner strength that supported her husband's illustrious career. As we admire this stunning portrayal of Catherine Dickens, let us reflect on the profound influence she had on one of literature's greatest minds. Her presence undoubtedly shaped not only her husband's work but also left an indelible mark on English literature as a whole.
