EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece from "The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club" transports us back to the Victorian era, immersing us in the world of Charles Dickens' beloved characters. Illustrated by Hablot Knight Browne, also known as Phiz, this print captures the essence of humor and wit that made this novel a phenomenon and bestseller. Within a gothic frame adorned with intricate details, we find ourselves observing an amusing scene. In the foreground sits Sam Weller, one of Dickens' most iconic creations, perched on a footstool with his mischievous grin. He is portrayed as both master and servant - a testament to the complex relationships depicted throughout the book. Surrounded by friends and publishing associates, Samuel Pickwick stands at the center wearing an expression of curiosity mixed with amusement. The illustration perfectly encapsulates the camaraderie shared among these characters who embark on various adventures together. Intriguingly placed within this whimsical composition is a goblin-like figure peering out from behind Pickwick's chair. This subtle touch adds an element of mystery to an otherwise lighthearted scene. As we gaze upon this first edition print published in 1837, it becomes evident why "The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club" became such a sensation during its time. With Phiz's skillful artistry bringing Dickens' words to life, readers were transported into a world where laughter mingled seamlessly with social commentary. This photo
