EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print, titled "Mrs Gamp" takes us back in time to the enchanting world of Charles Dickens. Created by Frederick Barnard around 1894, this image is a visual representation of Thomas Archer's book "Charles Dickens: A Gossip about his Life". In the center of the composition sits Mrs Gamp, a character from Dickens' novel "Martin Chuzzlewit". She is portrayed as a plump and jolly woman, comfortably settled in an armchair by the fireside. Her bonnet rests on her head, adding to her Victorian charm. Mrs Gamp's occupation as a midwife and nurse is evident through her nurturing presence. However, there seems to be more than meets the eye with this intriguing character. The artist skillfully captures Mrs Gamp inebriated state as she holds onto a teapot with one hand while leaning heavily against the armchair. The attention to detail in this engraving brings out every nuance of Mrs Gamp's personality. From her disheveled hair to the fine furnishings surrounding her, we are transported into an authentic Dickensian scene. This remarkable print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only Barnard's artistic talent but also provides insight into Victorian life and literature. It serves as a reminder of how timeless characters like Mrs Gamp continue to captivate our imagination even today.
