EDITORS COMMENTS
Sairey Gamp and Mr. Mould: A Victorian Scene by Alfred Jacob Miller, 1850s. This black and white illustration, created by Alfred Jacob Miller in the mid-19th century, depicts two intriguing characters from Charles Dickens' novel "Martin Chuzzlewit," published between 1839 and 1843. The characters, Sairey Gamp and Mr. Mould, are shown in a quintessential Victorian setting. Sairey Gamp, the elderly female character, is dressed in a voluminous cloak with a bonnet adorned with a large umbrella. Her cloak, which is held closed by a large brooch, covers a simple, dark dress. Her hat, which is held under her arm, is a common accessory for women during this era, providing protection from the elements. Sairey's umbrella, which is also visible in the illustration, is a practical accessory for the frequent rain showers of the time. Mr. Mould, the elderly male character, is shown wearing a simple, dark suit and a bowler hat. He is seated at a bar, presumably serving a customer. A book lies open on the counter in front of him, suggesting that he may be a bar tender or innkeeper. The bar, which is adorned with various bottles and glasses, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The intricate details of the illustration, from the folds in Sairey's cloak to the texture of the bar's wooden counter, demonstrate Miller's exceptional skill as an illustrator. The use of ink on paper adds to the richness and depth of the image, transporting the viewer back in time to the Victorian era. This illustration is a testament to the enduring appeal of Dickens' literature and the fashion and accessories of the 19th century. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Victorian literature, fashion, and art.
