Scene from the new drama of "Martin Chuzzlewit"at the Lyceum Theatre, 1844
Scene from the new drama of " Martin Chuzzlewit" at the Lyceum Theatre, 1844. Production of Charles Dickens novel " Martin Chuzzlewit" on the London stage. Pecksniff and Tom Pinch are admirably personated by Messrs. F. Mathews and Meadows. Mary Graham is rendered still more interesting by Miss Fortescues representation of her, and Master Bailey, the Boots at Mrs. Todgers boarding-house, is irresistibly impudent and droll as performed by Mrs. Keeley. Keeley, himself, was immense in the part of Old Mother Gamp, the monthly nurse. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant world of 19th-century London theater. It captures a scene from the new drama adaptation of Charles Dickens' renowned novel, "Martin Chuzzlewit" performed at the Lyceum Theatre in 1844. The production brought to life the beloved characters created by Dickens, with notable performances that left audiences enthralled. In this particular scene, we witness the impeccable portrayal of Pecksniff and Tom Pinch by Messrs. F. Mathews and Meadows respectively. Their talent shines through as they embody these complex characters on stage. Miss Fortescue's representation of Mary Graham adds an extra layer of intrigue to her character, making her even more captivating. However, it is Mrs. Keeley's performance as Master Bailey, the impudent and droll Boots at Mrs. Todgers boarding-house, that steals the show with irresistible charm and wit. Notably immense was Keeley himself in his role as Old Mother Gamp, a monthly nurse who brings both humor and depth to this iconic character from Dickens' novel. The engraving featured here originally appeared in "Illustrated London News" in 1844 (Vol I), showcasing its significance during that time period when newspapers played a crucial role in promoting theatrical productions. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of literature brought alive on stage while offering us a glimpse into Victorian-era entertainment culture.
