EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from the Charles Dickens Christmas story, "The Poor Relations Story". Illustrated by Harry Furniss for the Testimonial Edition published in 1910, it depicts a scene titled "My Uncle And Betsy Snap". In this intriguing illustration, my uncle can be seen gently urging Betsy Snap to look towards me. With his lean grip on the crown of her head, she kneels beside him and turns her face in my direction. As I gaze at this image, an involuntary thought connects them both with the dissecting room - a place that must have often been on surgeons' minds during that era. Harry Furniss skillfully brings these characters to life through his detailed sketching. The classic Victorian setting is beautifully portrayed, evoking a sense of nostalgia and charm. This illustration serves as a visual representation of the rich literary tradition established by Charles Dickens.

This print is not just a mere depiction; it encapsulates the essence of Christmas spirit intertwined with social commentary. It invites viewers to delve into the world created by one of history's greatest storytellers while appreciating Furniss' artistic prowess.
