EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures a delightful array of characters from Charles Dickens' beloved novel, David Copperfield. Created in 1923 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this colour lithograph showcases the iconic personalities that have captivated readers for generations. In the forefront, we see David Copperfield himself, the young protagonist navigating through life's trials and triumphs. Standing beside him is Uriah Heep, a cunning and conniving character whose deceptive nature adds intrigue to the story. Betsey Trotwood, with her strong-willed demeanor and sharp wit, exudes an air of authority as she stands tall next to them. Further back in the composition are Daril Peggoty, Mr. McCawber, and Mr. Murdstone; each bringing their own unique charm and complexity to Dickens' narrative tapestry. These illustrations were originally produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons – a testament to their enduring popularity during that era. The artist's caricature-style portrayal infuses humor into these Victorian-era characters while maintaining their literary essence. This vintage print not only serves as a visual homage to Dickensian literature but also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural history surrounding his works. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to experience the magic of Dickens' storytelling once again. It reminds us of how literature has the power to transcend time and connect us with characters who continue to resonate with audiences today.
