EDITORS COMMENTS
The Late Charles Dickens, c. 1870 (engraving) captures the iconic English writer and social critic in a timeless portrait. Measuring 23x18 cm, this print is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection. Charles Dickens, born on February 7th, 1812, left an indelible mark on literature with his storytelling and keen observations of Victorian society. The engraving is based on a photograph taken by George Herbert Watkins and was featured in an inscribed copy of one of Dickens' works, The Battle of Life. In this three-quarter length portrait, Dickens sits at his desk surrounded by quills and writing materials—a glimpse into the creative process that brought forth masterpieces like Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities. His expression reflects both intensity and contemplation as he delves into the world of words. This image not only pays homage to one of history's greatest authors but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature. It reminds us that even after his passing on June 9th, 1870, Charles Dickens continues to inspire generations with his literary legacy. Bridgeman Images proudly presents this remarkable engraving from Fine Art Finder's collection—an exquisite piece capturing the essence of Charles Dickens for all admirers to appreciate.
