EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Maypole Hugh" by Joseph Clayton Clarke, also known as Kyd, created in the 1920s. The artwork is a pen and ink illustration with watercolor on paper, measuring 28.5x22.5 cm. Housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department, this piece is part of a collection of eighteen original character illustrations for Charles Dickens' novel Barnaby Rudge. The image depicts Maypole Hugh, a character from the novel, portrayed in full length with an axe in hand and a book tucked under his arm. Dressed in period costume and sporting a rugged beard, Maypole Hugh exudes an air of masculinity and gruffness that perfectly captures the essence of Georgian-era characters. Joseph Clayton Clarke's skillful use of pen and ink combined with delicate watercolor techniques brings this literary figure to life. The intricate details highlight not only his physical appearance but also convey his personality through subtle nuances. As we delve into this artwork from the 20th century, it serves as a reminder of the timeless appeal of Charles Dickens' novels and their enduring impact on literature. This print allows us to appreciate both Clarke's artistic talent and Dickens' ability to create memorable characters that continue to captivate audiences today.
