1841 Barnaby Dickens Dolly Gabriel Holds Martha Rudge Sash Stoops Ties Varden Watched Locksmith
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a poignant moment from Charles Dickens' classic novel, Barnaby Rudge, published in 1841. The photograph depicts Dolly Varden (played by Nelly Kenny in this particular production), a young, impetuous, and resourceful character, as she bends down to tie her father Gabriel Varden's (played by John Brougham) sash. Her mother, Martha Varden (played by Ellen Terry), watches on with a concerned expression, while Mrs. Miggs (played by Marie Wilton), the locksmith's wife, holds out Gabriel's sword. The historical context of this scene is significant, as it takes place during the tumultuous events leading up to the Gordon Riots of 1780. Gabriel, a Quaker and a locksmith, has been attacked and left for dead, and Dolly, determined to protect her family, sets out to find help. In this moment, she demonstrates her strength and resilience, tying her father's sash to help him regain his strength. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the rich and complex narrative of Dickens' novel, which explores themes of family, loyalty, and the dangers of mob violence. The image also showcases the impressive acting talents of the cast, particularly the young Nelly Kenny as Dolly Varden, who would go on to become a celebrated actress in her own right. With its intricate details and historical significance, this photograph is a must-have for any Dickens scholar or enthusiast.
