EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sir John Chester, a prominent figure from the 1920s. Created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department. The portrait is part of a collection titled "Eighteen Original Character Illustrations to Barnaby Rudge" which was inspired by Charles Dickens' famous novel published in installments between 1840-41. Sir John Chester, depicted here in full length, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Dressed impeccably in Georgian fashion, he wears a stylish coat while confidently resting his hand on his hip. His wig adds an element of grandeur to his appearance, emphasizing his status as a distinguished literary character. The artist skillfully brings Sir John Chester to life through intricate details and masterful brushstrokes. The tricorne hat perched atop his head completes the ensemble, showcasing the attention given to historical accuracy. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into the fashion trends and cultural influences prevalent during that era. It transports us back to a time when literature played an essential role in shaping society's perception of style and class. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to appreciate its artistic brilliance and historical significance.
