EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sam Weller and his Father" transports us back to the enchanting world of Charles Dickens' literary masterpiece, "The Pickwick Papers". Illustrated by Harold Copping in 1924, this colour lithograph captures the essence of two beloved characters from the novel. In this scene, we see Sam Weller, a loyal servant and faithful son, standing beside his father. Both men are dressed in fashionable Victorian costumes that perfectly reflect their personalities. Sam's chubby figure is accentuated by his overcoat and neckerchief while his father exudes an air of authority with his stout frame and whip in hand. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element tells a story. The luggage scattered around them suggests they are on a journey together - perhaps accompanying Mr. Pickwick on one of his adventures. A chest, suitcase, and trunk hint at their humble origins but also symbolize their aspirations for a better life. There is something endearing about the way Sam looks up at his father with admiration and respect. Their bond is palpable even through this still image; it speaks volumes about family ties during that era. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we can't help but be transported into Dickens' vivid world where cockney accents mingle with high society fashion. It serves as a reminder of how literature has the power to bring characters to life long after their stories have been written.
