EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jenny, c. 1920s" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The artwork, created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), showcases his exceptional talent in pen and ink with watercolor on paper. Measuring at 28.5x22.5 cm, this piece is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department. The image portrays a young woman named Jenny, dressed in a striking Victorian costume that reflects the fashion trends of the 1920s. With an apron draped over her figure and holding a book close to her chest, Jenny exudes an air of hardship and resilience. This illustration was originally part of Twenty-Four Original Character Illustrations for Charles Dickens' renowned novel Bleak House. Published between 1852-53 as installments, this literary masterpiece captured the essence of Victorian society through its vivid characters and intricate plotlines. Through Kyd's skillful brushstrokes, we witness Jenny's haggard appearance which symbolizes the struggles faced by individuals during that era. This artwork not only serves as a visual representation but also pays homage to Charles Dickens' enduring contribution to literature. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported into a world where books were cherished companions amidst societal challenges and where art immortalized characters who continue to resonate with audiences today.
