EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pen and ink with watercolor print from the 1920s, created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd). The artwork measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia. The illustration depicts a full-length character from Charles Dickens' "American Notes for General Circulation" a travelogue documenting his observations of American society in 1842. The figure, dressed in a coat and top hat, stands with one arm raised in an animated gesture, seemingly waving or gesturing towards someone or something off-screen. This intriguing image captures both the literary essence of Dickens' work and the spirit of early 20th-century America. Through Kyd's skillful rendering, we are transported to another time as we witness this moment frozen on paper. The title itself, "Darn my Mother!" adds an air of mystery to the scene. It sparks curiosity about what might have transpired before this particular moment was captured. Perhaps it hints at some conflict or disagreement between characters within the story. Overall, this print serves as a visual representation of literature coming to life through artistry. It invites us to delve into Dickens' world while appreciating Kyd's talent for bringing characters to life through his illustrations.
