EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white illustration by Harry Furniss brings to life the character of Martha, known as "Martha the Wanderer" from Charles Dickens' novel David Copperfield. Published in 1910 as part of The Testimonial Edition, this print showcases Furniss' talent as an illustrator. The image depicts Martha standing alone against a backdrop of Victorian England. Her weary expression and tattered clothing suggest a life filled with hardship and struggle. As a social outcast, Martha's story is one of resilience and survival in a society that often overlooked those on the fringes. Furniss' attention to detail is evident in his meticulous sketching technique, capturing every nuance of Martha's character. The lines are crisp yet delicate, bringing depth and emotion to the illustration. Dickens' novels were renowned for their vivid portrayal of characters from all walks of life, shedding light on societal issues prevalent during his time. This particular drawing serves as a visual testament to Dickens' ability to create complex and relatable characters that continue to resonate with readers today. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to 19th century England, where Dickensian tales unfolded against a backdrop of social change. Furniss' skillful interpretation adds another layer to our understanding of these timeless stories, reminding us why they remain classics in English literature.
