EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the infamous character Quilp from Charles Dickens' novel, "The Old Curiosity Shop". Created in 1890 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this colour lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this fictional reprobate. Quilp, portrayed as a full-length scoundrel, exudes an air of sinister charm that is both intriguing and unsettling. With his pot-like appearance and villainous smirk, Quilp's caricatured portrait epitomizes the dark side of Victorian literature. The artist skillfully brings to life this literary antagonist who has become synonymous with cunning and malevolence. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into the boiling world of Dickensian London. Quilp's presence looms large, reminding us of the power that fictional characters hold over our imagination. His smoking pipe adds an additional layer to his enigmatic persona, hinting at hidden vices and questionable morals. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Charles Dickens' works and their ability to captivate readers across generations. It invites us to delve deeper into the rich tapestry of Victorian literature while simultaneously warning us about the dangers lurking beneath seemingly harmless facades. In capturing Quilp's essence so vividly, Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) has created a timeless piece that resonates with lovers of classic fiction worldwide.
