EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mr Micawber, a beloved character from Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield. Created in the 1920s by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department. Mr Micawber, depicted in his Victorian attire, exudes confidence and satisfaction as he stands tall with a smug smile on his face. His bald head shines under the light, complementing his distinguished appearance. The top hat perched upon his head adds an extra touch of elegance to his ensemble. With a cane in hand and collar neatly buttoned up, Mr Micawber embodies the essence of a well-read gentleman from the early 20th century. Surrounding him are books that symbolize his literary significance within David Copperfield's narrative. The illustration captures not only Mr Micawber's physical attributes but also hints at his larger-than-life personality traits known to readers worldwide. This portrayal perfectly encapsulates the charm and charisma associated with this iconic character. As we gaze upon this timeless piece of art, we are transported back to the 1920s when literature was celebrated through visual representations like these illustrations. It serves as a reminder of how characters from classic novels continue to captivate our imaginations even after centuries have passed.
