EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Peter Cratchit - A Christmas Carol, c. 1920s" transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Charles Dickens' beloved novel. Created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), a renowned artist of the early 20th century, this pen and ink illustration with watercolor on paper captures the essence of Peter Cratchit, one of the memorable characters from Dickens' timeless tale. With a warm smile adorning his face, Peter stands tall in his charming Victorian attire, complete with a bow tie and an intricately detailed collar. The full-length depiction allows us to appreciate every nuance of his character as he comes alive through Kyd's masterful strokes. As we gaze at this artwork housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department, we are reminded that it is part of a larger collection known as "Twenty-Four Original Character Illustrations to the Christmas Books". These illustrations were created for Dickens' iconic Christmas books including "A Christmas Carol" "The Chimes" "The Cricket on the Hearth" "The Battle of Life" and "The Haunted Man and The Ghosts Bargain". Through this image, we not only witness Kyd's artistic brilliance but also delve into the rich literary heritage left behind by Charles Dickens. It serves as a beautiful reminder that even after decades have passed since its creation, these characters continue to captivate our hearts during every festive season.
