EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Goblin and the Sexton" is an enchanting illustration from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, The Pickwick Papers. Created by Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz), this print transports us to a hauntingly atmospheric churchyard scene. In the foreground, we see Gabriel Grub, a male character known for his morose nature. He stands beside a tombstone with an expression of terror etched upon his face. His disheveled appearance suggests he may have indulged in some liquid courage before encountering the supernatural entity that now looms before him. An eerie apparition emerges from behind a gnarled tree in the background, its spectral form evoking fear and trepidation. This chilling encounter between mortal and spirit encapsulates the essence of Victorian gothic literature - where darkness intertwines with everyday life. Dickensian elements are prevalent throughout this composition; it captures both the macabre atmosphere of graveyards and the psychological depths of human emotion. The artist's attention to detail brings out every nuance of fear on Gabriel Grub's face while also highlighting the intricate textures of tombstones and trees. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to 19th-century England when Dickens' novels captured imaginations worldwide. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time, allowing us to experience moments frozen within its frames long after their creation.
