EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Bumble the Beadle, a beloved character from Charles Dickens' timeless novel, Oliver Twist. Taken in 1939 as part of the Dickens Character Series by Copes Cigarettes, this image showcases Mr. Bumble in all his glory. Standing tall with an air of authority, Bumble exudes confidence and charisma. His wide-brimmed hat adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble, while his vibrant green jacket stands out against the monochrome backdrop. Despite being slightly overweight, he carries himself with grace and dignity. The photograph transports us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a world where fictional characters come alive through literature. The tricorn hat perched atop Bumble's head is reminiscent of that era's fashion trends. As we gaze upon this full-length portrait, we cannot help but be reminded of Dickens' masterful storytelling and vivid imagination. This image serves as a visual representation of one man's interpretation of Bumble the Beadle—a testament to how literature can inspire art across different mediums. Preserved by The Print Collector for posterity, this cigarette card offers a glimpse into history—an artifact from an era when such cards were cherished collectibles rather than commercial promotions. It allows us to appreciate both the literary genius behind Oliver Twist and the artistic expression it has inspired throughout time.
