EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Major Bagstock, a character from Charles Dickens' novel "Dombey & Son" brought to life through the skilled pen and ink with watercolor technique by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) in the 1920s. The artwork measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia. In this illustration, Major Bagstock stands proudly at full length, his hand confidently resting on his rotund hip. His figure exudes an air of authority and importance, emphasized by his top hat and cane. With meticulous detail, Kyd captures every aspect of this literary character's appearance. Major Bagstock's portrayal embodies the essence of Victorian-era literature, showcasing both its charm and complexity. As one delves into Dickens' narrative masterpiece, it becomes evident that characters like Joey Bagstock add depth to the story's tapestry. The use of watercolor adds a touch of vibrancy to this black-and-white illustration while maintaining its classic appeal. Through Kyd's artistry, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within Dombey & Son's pages. This remarkable piece not only celebrates British literary heritage but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through visual arts. It invites us to explore the world created by Charles Dickens while marveling at Joseph Clayton Clarke's talent for breathing life into fictional characters with just pen and ink strokes.
