Curiosity Dead Death Bed Dickens Nell Rest Sentimental
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the moment of quiet repose for Little Nell, the beloved and innocent heroine of Charles Dickens' classic novel, "The Old Curiosity Shop." Published in serial form from 1840 to 1841, and then as a book in 1841, the story follows Nell and her aged, ailing grandfather, who own a curiosity shop in Victorian London. As they struggle to make ends meet, they are pursued relentlessly by the cruel and greedy Quilp, a moneylender. In the heart-wrenching climax of the tale, Nell, who has sacrificed much for her grandfather's wellbeing, succumbs to tuberculosis on her little bed. The serene expression on her face, and the gentle light that filters through the room, create a striking contrast to the tragic circumstances of her death. This evocative print, dating from around 1850, encapsulates the sentimental and emotional depth of Dickens' storytelling, and serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life.
