EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of Fagin from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, Oliver Twist. The 19th-century English School artist beautifully captures the essence of this iconic character, known for his cunning and manipulative nature. With a touch of humor and caricature, the engraving brings Fagin to life in a way that is both amusing and thought-provoking. The image originates from a set of chapbook prints accompanied by short verses below, adding another layer of storytelling to this already rich portrayal. While some parts of the original line-frame were trimmed off over time, they have been skillfully restored using Photoshop for optimal viewing pleasure. Fagin's Jewish heritage is an integral part of his character, as he navigates through the gritty streets of London. This engraving offers a glimpse into German culture during that era as well since it was created in Germany. It serves as a reminder not only of Fagin's significance within literature but also reflects on religious themes prevalent in European society at the time. With its intricate details and historical context, this print invites viewers to delve deeper into Dickens' world while appreciating the artistic talent behind its creation. Whether you are familiar with Oliver Twist or simply drawn to humorous characters brought to life through engravings, this piece will surely spark curiosity and conversation among art enthusiasts and literary aficionados alike.
