EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Thieves Kitchen" we are transported into the world of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Illustrated by Harry Furniss for the Testimonial Edition published in 1910, the image captures a moment filled with mischief and intrigue. "The Merry Old Gentleman and the Two Boys" engage in a curious and uncommon game that leaves us both amused and astounded. The two boys skillfully shadow their elder companion, swiftly evading his gaze every time he turns around. Their nimble movements make it impossible to follow their actions, adding an air of mystery to this playful scene. As our eyes delve deeper into the image, we witness an unexpected twist: if the old gentleman feels a hand slipping into one of his pockets, he cries out its location! This revelation adds another layer to this intriguing game as it begins anew each time. Harry Furniss masterfully brings Dickens' words to life through his detailed illustration. Every line tells a story; every expression conveys emotion. We find ourselves captivated by Oliver's wide-eyed curiosity as he observes "how it is done". This print serves as a testament not only to Furniss' artistic talent but also to Dickens' timeless storytelling. It invites us into a world where even games can be tinged with danger and deception – reminding us why Oliver Twist continues to resonate with readers over a century later.
