EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Dombey & Son: The Return of Walter Gay" transports us into the world of Charles Dickens' iconic novel. Measuring 20x14 cm, this print is housed in the esteemed Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection. The scene depicted in this engraving showcases a powerful moment filled with emotion and anticipation. As we gaze upon it, we witness a group gathered around an inviting fireplace in an elegant interior setting. A man and woman stand at the center, their faces etched with longing and hope. Intriguingly, it is the Captain who steals our attention as he roars with excitement while pointing towards something on the wall. His words echo through the room - "Yes! Steady darling, courage! Don't look round yet. . . see there, upon the wall". What could be causing such a stir? This image captures not only a pivotal moment within Dickens' narrative but also highlights his ability to create vivid characters that resonate deeply with readers. The presence of books scattered throughout adds another layer to this literary tableau. As we delve into this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again why Charles Dickens remains one of literature's most beloved authors.
