In this evocative photograph, Charles Dickens is captured in the act of reading from one of his scripts in the large schoolroom at Tavistock House, his family home in Tavistock Square, London. The former schoolroom had been transformed into a makeshift theatre by the renowned novelist, who lived there with his wife and children between 1851 and 1860. Dickens' creative spirit was not confined to the written word. In this space, he brought his stories to life, penning masterpieces such as Bleak House, Hard Times, Little Dorrit, and A Tale of Two Cities. The room's large dimensions and high ceilings provided an ideal setting for the theatrical productions that Dickens began staging in the same room. The stage and scenery for these amateur theatricals were expertly crafted and painted by renowned artists Clarkson Stanfield R.A. and W. Telbin.
