EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of two iconic characters from Charles Dickens' classic novel, "The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit," published in 1843. In the foreground, Sarah Gamp, played by the inimitable actress Matilda Hays in the novel's stage adaptation, is depicted in her distinctive uniform of an apron and a bonnet. Sarah, a midwife, nurse, and layer out of the dead, is a pivotal character in the story, known for her eccentricities and her uncanny ability to appear whenever there is a need for her services. In the background, Martin Chuzzlewit, the novel's eponymous protagonist, looks on with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation. Martin, a young man from England, embarks on a journey to America in search of fortune and adventure, only to encounter a series of misadventures and encounters with a colorful cast of characters. The photo print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 19th century and the world of Dickens' imaginative storytelling. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Dickens' works and the characters he brought to life, which continue to captivate readers and audiences alike.
