EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a significant scene from the life of Charles Dickens, the legendary Victorian novelist and social critic. The image, titled "Life of Charles Dickens - Barnet. Scene of Oliver Twist's Entry into London," is part of Box 330 from the extensive collection of Charles Dickens' works held by Mary Evans Picture Library. The slide, estimated to date from the 1890s, transports us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages, cobblestone streets, and the bustling energy of 19th-century London. In this scene, we witness Oliver Twist, the iconic character from Dickens' novel "Oliver Twist," making his entry into the city. The young orphan, clad in his distinctive blue jacket and cap, looks out from the carriage window with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation as he embarks on a journey that will forever change his life. The backdrop of Barnet, a town on the outskirts of London, sets the stage for Oliver's transformation from a pauper to a pickpocket and ultimately, to a respected member of society. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of the lantern slide, which would have been projected onto a screen for audiences to enjoy during Victorian-era lectures and presentations. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Charles Dickens and the enduring impact of his works on literature and popular culture.
