EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of Mr. Snodgrass, a beloved character from Charles Dickens' timeless novel, The Pickwick Papers. Created in 1923 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this colour lithograph showcases the remarkable talent of the artist in bringing literary figures to life. Mr. Snodgrass is depicted here in full length, donning a Victorian-style cloak that adds an air of mystery and intrigue to his persona. With his poetic disposition evident through every line on his face, it is clear that he embodies the spirit of a true poet. His gaze seems lost in thought, as if contemplating profound verses or perhaps even composing one at that very moment. As a member of the prestigious Pickwick Club, Mr. Snodgrass holds great significance within Dickens' narrative. This fictional character has become an iconic symbol for literature enthusiasts worldwide, representing both the charm and complexity found within Dickensian works. Originally produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons, this vintage card now resides within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its exquisite detail and rich colors. This print serves as a delightful reminder of the enduring power of literature and artistry combined. It transports us back to Victorian times while simultaneously reminding us of our own fascination with characters who have stood the test of time.
