EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment between Joe Willet and Dolly Varden, two beloved characters from Charles Dickens' novel "Barnaby Rudge". Illustrated by Harold Copping in 1924 for the book "Character Sketches from Dickens" this color lithograph beautifully portrays the unrequited love that exists between them. In this scene, we see Joe Willet, the landlord of Maypole Inn in Chigwell, preparing to depart and enlist in the army. Dressed in his Victorian costume, he gazes longingly at Dolly Varden, who stands before him wearing a stunning pink quilted dress. Despite her flirtatious nature and undeniable charm, she rejects Joe's advances. The atmosphere within this workshop is filled with tension as Joe musters up the courage to bid farewell to his suitor. Ignoring his presence, Dolly seems indifferent to his departure. The rejection is palpable as their eyes meet one last time before parting ways. Copping's attention to detail transports us back to 19th-century England and perfectly captures the essence of these iconic Dickensian characters. Through their expressions and body language alone, we can sense their complex emotions - longing mixed with heartache. This print serves as a powerful reminder of unrequited love and the struggles faced by individuals during that era. It encapsulates both the beauty and tragedy present within Dickens' literary world while showcasing Copping's artistic brilliance.
