EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "The Newcomes" by Thackeray, showcases a supposed sketch by Clive Newcome, a character from Thackeray's eponymous novel, following a visit to his step-grandmother. The image, published in the 1880s, depicts a tall, slim man on the right who bears a striking resemblance to the author himself. Thackeray, known for his satirical wit and keen observation of Victorian society, penned numerous novels that continue to captivate readers with their comic humour and insightful commentary on English literature and fiction. In this illustration, Clive Newcome, dressed in a fashionable suit and top hat, appears deep in thought as he sketches an elderly woman seated before him. The old lady, adorned in a voluminous dress and a muff, gazes intently at Clive with a serious expression. The scene is filled with the rich details characteristic of Thackeray's work, from the intricate patterns on the wallpaper to the ornate furnishings in the room. The Newcomes, first published in the 1850s, is a novel that explores the themes of wealth, love, and social class in Victorian England. Thackeray's keen observations and biting satire continue to resonate with readers, making this illustration not only a fascinating glimpse into the past but also a testament to the enduring appeal of Thackeray's work.
