About This Book

A critical and descriptive survey of the artists responsible for illustrating Dickens's writings, combining biographical sketches, analysis of stylistic development, reproductions of preparatory sketches and facsimiles, correspondence about commissions, and commentary on the relationship between author and illustrators. It traces the variety of techniques used across original and later editions, contrasts early practices with later reliance on living models, and presents selected portraits and rare drawings to show how visual artists helped shape readers' perceptions of characters and scenes.

FOOTNOTES:

[55] That Mr. Frith did not always entertain such an absolute objection to this reproduction is testified by the following memorandum written by him on a copy of the print now in the collection of Mr. W. R. Hughes:—"This is a very good chromo-lithograph from the first study for the picture painted by me for the late Charles Dickens. (Signed) W. P. Frith, December 23, 1884."
