Dickens Novelist Places Slides
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically to the Black Horse Inn, a significant location in the life of the renowned Victorian novelist, Charles Dickens. The slide, part of Box 330 in the Charles Dickens (Life and Works) collection, is estimated to date from the 1890s. Charles Dickens (1812-1870), one of England's greatest writers, is known for his vivid storytelling and unforgettable characters. His works, which include "Oliver Twist," "A Tale of Two Cities," and "Great Expectations," offer a rich and detailed portrayal of life in Victorian England. In this image, we see the Black Horse Inn, a place that holds a special place in Dickens' literary history. The inn, located in Higham, Kent, is believed to have inspired the "Boat Inn" in Dickens' novel "The Pickwick Papers." Dickens was known to have visited the inn frequently, and it is said that he based the character of Mr. Winkle on the landlord of the Black Horse Inn during his visits. The Black Horse Inn, with its charming facade and inviting sign, stands as a testament to the rich history of Dickens' literary legacy. The image, with its warm tones and intricate details, invites us to imagine the young Dickens sitting by the fire, pen in hand, as he draws inspiration from the world around him. This lantern slide is a precious reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Charles Dickens and the places that shaped his work. It is a fascinating window into the history of literature and the Victorian era, and a must-see for any Dickens enthusiast or history buff.
