EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Dr Strong" in the 1920s, a character brought to life through pen and ink with watercolor on paper by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd). Measuring 28.5x22.5 cm, this artwork is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department. The image depicts Dr Strong, a headmaster donning an elegant Victorian costume complete with tails and spectacles. His strong presence exudes wisdom and authority as he stands confidently in full length. The intricate details of his glasses add depth to his character, emphasizing his intellectual nature. This illustration originates from Charles Dickens' renowned novel "David Copperfield" which was first published in installments back in 1849. As one of Thirty-Six Original Character Illustrations for the book, it offers a glimpse into the literary world created by Dickens. The fashion and style depicted here reflect the trends of the 1920s, capturing both historical significance and artistic expression within its composition. This piece serves as a testament to Kyd's talent for bringing characters to life through his illustrations. As we admire this painting from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to the early twentieth century – an era filled with rich literature and timeless characters that continue to captivate readers today.
