EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back to the 19th century as we witness a young and inquisitive David Copperfield, the beloved character created by Charles Dickens, taking a pitstop at the Old Coaching Inn at Yarmouth during his memorable journey to Salem House School. The eight-year-old David, dressed in a short jacket and trousers, sits at a table near the fireplace, his eyes wide with curiosity as he watches a mischievous waiter attempting to offer him an alcoholic drink. The waiter, with a sly grin on his face, raises a glass filled with a pale, frothy liquid, likely Worthington's Pale Ale, towards the young boy. The waiter's actions may seem harmless, but the potential danger of introducing a child to alcohol is evident. David, however, appears unaware of the waiter's true intentions, his expression a mix of fascination and apprehension. The Old Coaching Inn, with its worn wooden walls and dimly lit interior, exudes an air of nostalgia and adventure. The scene is a testament to the rich detail and vivid storytelling that Dickens is known for. The image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder of the timeless appeal of the adventures of David Copperfield.
