EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases Grip, the beloved pet raven of renowned author Charles Dickens. The 19th-century English School artwork, housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia, beautifully captures the essence of this remarkable bird. With its black feathers glistening against a serene landscape backdrop, Grip's profile is strikingly portrayed. Grip holds significant historical importance as he is believed to have inspired Edgar Allan Poe's iconic poem "The Raven". This litho serves as a testament to the profound influence that animals can have on artistic creativity and literary genius. In this print, we witness nature at its finest – an enigmatic creature perched gracefully upon a branch. The intricate details of each feather are meticulously engraved, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of the artist. As we gaze into those piercing eyes, one cannot help but wonder about the deep bond between Dickens and his feathery companion. Grip undoubtedly provided endless inspiration for his owner's writings and became an integral part of Dickens' life. This lithograph not only immortalizes Grip but also invites us to reflect on the power that pets hold over our hearts and minds. It reminds us that even in unexpected places like literature or art galleries, we can find traces of extraordinary connections formed between humans and their animal companions.
