EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mr. Wickfield, a character from Charles Dickens' timeless novel, David Copperfield. Created by the talented artist Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) in the 1920s, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper illustration beautifully captures the essence of Mr. Wickfield's persona. Standing in his full Victorian attire, Mr. Wickfield exudes an air of sophistication and mystery. The intricate details of his costume and accessories reflect the fashion trends of the era, transporting us back to the 1920s. Surrounded by books and letters, it is evident that Mr. Wickfield is deeply immersed in literature and academia. The package he holds suggests a delivery or perhaps a hidden secret waiting to be unveiled within its pages. The skillful use of color adds depth to this illustration, enhancing our understanding of Mr. Wickfield's complex character traits as portrayed by Dickens himself. As we gaze upon this artwork from the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department, we are reminded not only of Clarke's artistic prowess but also Dickens' ability to create unforgettable characters that continue to resonate with readers even after more than a century has passed. This print serves as a visual testament to both literary excellence and artistic brilliance - an exquisite fusion between two art forms that have stood the test of time.
