EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Mrs Jellaby" in the 1920s, a character brought to life through pen and ink with watercolor on paper by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd). With dimensions of 28.5x22.5 cm, this artwork is housed in the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia. The image depicts Mrs Jellaby as a full-length figure, donning an intriguing costume from the Victorian era. Her smile exudes warmth and charm, capturing our attention instantly. She stands amidst a collection of books, turning one page attentively while holding a quill in her hand. This illustration originates from Charles Dickens' famous novel "Bleak House" published between 1852-53 in installments. It is part of Twenty-Four Original Character Illustrations created by Clarke specifically for this literary masterpiece. The artist's skillful use of pen and ink combined with delicate watercolor brings out the essence of Mrs Jellaby's character and fashion sense from the 1920s. The rear view perspective adds depth to her presence within this literary world. As we admire this piece, we are transported back to the early twentieth century when literature played an integral role in society's cultural fabric. This artwork serves as a testament to both Clarke's artistic prowess and Dickens' enduring influence on literature.
