EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment from Charles Dickens' classic novel, The Old Curiosity Shop. In the scene, Sampson Brass, the cunning and ruthless attorney, and Mrs. Jiniwin, the kind-hearted proprietor of the Old Curiosity Shop, discuss the wording of an advertisement for the shop's rare and unusual items. Quilp, the menacing figure lurking in the background, watches intently from the shadows. The Old Curiosity Shop, first published in Master Humphreys Clock from 1840 to 1841 and then as its own book in 1841, is a gripping tale of love, greed, and betrayal. Sampson Brass, a manipulative and deceitful character, is determined to acquire the shop and its valuable contents for himself. In this moment, he suggests using enticing language in the advertisement to attract potential buyers, while Mrs. Jiniwin, who values honesty and compassion above all else, objects. The intricate details of the scene are brought to life through the skilled use of charcoal and ink. The dimly lit interior of the shop is filled with an array of curious objects, from taxidermy animals to ancient artifacts. Sampson Brass' intense gaze and Quilp's ominous presence add a sense of unease to the otherwise mundane task of writing an advertisement. This image, dating back to around 1850, offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of Dickens' literature and the complex relationships between its characters. The Old Curiosity Shop remains a beloved classic, and this print is a beautiful reminder of the timeless tale and the enduring power of Dickens' storytelling.
