Background:
These whimsical prints are from a folio of famous characters from the novels of Charles
Dickens by the noted illustrator Joseph Clayton Clarke who signed his drawings with
the pen name "Kyd". Clarke completed the original water colors on which
the prints are based.
Following is an excerpt from the preface to the
folio: "The characters of Charles Dickens are something more than mere
fictional creations. They breathe and live in real flesh and blood. We know or
seem to have known them personally. They will cease to charm us only when the
English language is forgotten or human nature ceases to exist." |
