EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Child Wife (circa 1850)" we are transported back in time to the world of Charles Dickens' beloved novel, David Copperfield. The image beautifully captures a tender moment between the author and his fictional creation, Dora - David's first wife. As we peer into the scene, our eyes are drawn to Dickens seated at his cluttered desk, surrounded by an array of books that speak volumes about his literary genius. Bathed in the warm glow of a lamp, he gazes fondly at a young girl who stands before him with her loyal King Charles spaniel named Jip. The girl is none other than Dora herself, brought to life by Thomas Archer's artistic interpretation. Her delicate features and innocent expression reveal her youthful charm and vulnerability. Meanwhile, Jip exudes loyalty and companionship as he faithfully stays by her side. This enchanting composition not only showcases Fred Barnard's remarkable talent but also offers us a glimpse into domestic life during Victorian England. It evokes feelings of nostalgia for a bygone era when quill pens were used for writing and dogs were cherished members of the family. With its rich historical context and emotional depth, this print serves as both an homage to Charles Dickens' enduring legacy and an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in the intricate world of David Copperfield.
