EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the character of Nancy from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, "Oliver Twist".

Nancy, an iconic figure in English literature, comes to life through Handley-Read's skillful depiction. Her expressive eyes reveal both vulnerability and strength as she navigates the gritty streets of Victorian London. Dressed in tattered clothing that hints at her impoverished background, Nancy stands tall with determination etched across her face. The artist beautifully captures the contrast between light and shadow, emphasizing Nancy's resilience amidst adversity. This lithograph was originally created for "Scenes from Dickens" adapted by Guy Pertwee and edited by Ernest Pertwee in 1910. It serves as a visual testament to Dickens' ability to create vivid characters who resonate with readers even today.
