EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Little Nell, the beloved protagonist from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, The Old Curiosity Shop. Created in 1923 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Nell Trent's character. Nell Trent is depicted here as a young girl with an angelic presence, donning a straw hat and a vintage cloak. Holding a bouquet of flowers delicately in her hands, she exudes kindness and goodness that resonates throughout the story. Her tragic fate unfolds gradually as she becomes weaker over time, ultimately meeting an untimely demise. The illustration originates from a series of Character Sketches from Charles Dickens produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons. This vintage card serves as both an artistic representation and homage to one of literature's most poignant characters. Nell's journey alongside her grandfather to escape misery forms the heart of this Victorian-era tale. Despite facing numerous hardships, Nell remains steadfast in her pursuit for happiness until tragedy befalls her. This image encapsulates the bittersweet nature of Nell's character - innocent yet burdened with sorrow. As we gaze upon this evocative print, we are reminded not only of Dickens' masterful storytelling but also the enduring power and impact his characters have had on readers for generations.
