EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a timeless illustration of Ebenezer Scrooge, the iconic character from Charles Dickens' beloved novella "A Christmas Carol". Created in the 1920s by Joseph Clayton Clarke (also known as Kyd), this pen and ink artwork with watercolor on paper beautifully captures the essence of Scrooge's personality. Measuring at 28.5x22.5 cm, this print is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department. It is part of a collection titled "Twenty-Four Original Character Illustrations to the Christmas Books" which includes illustrations for other Dickens' works such as "The Chimes" "The Cricket on the Hearth" "The Battle of Life" and "The Haunted Man and The Ghosts Bargain". In this particular illustration, Scrooge is depicted in his night clothes and cap, emphasizing his miserly nature. The artist skillfully portrays his stooped posture and stern expression, capturing both his physical appearance and inner turmoil. As one gazes upon this artwork, they are transported into Dickens' enchanting world filled with literary wonders. This image serves as a reminder of the transformative power that Christmas holds - how even someone as cold-hearted as Scrooge can experience redemption through self-reflection and acts of kindness. With its rich history and cultural significance, this print offers a glimpse into an era when literature was brought to life through stunning visual representations. It stands not only as an homage to Charles Dickens
