EDITORS COMMENTS
This comical and humorous illustration captures the unforgettable moment from Charles Dickens' novel, The Pickwick Papers. Entitled "Mr. Winkle's Situation When the Door Blew To" this lithograph by Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz), depicts a scene that is sure to bring laughter to anyone who lays eyes on it. In the image, we find Mr. Winkle in quite an embarrassing predicament. It appears that as he was stepping out of his carriage or sedan chair one night, a sudden gust of wind blew the door shut behind him. Caught off guard and undressed in only his dressing gown, poor Mr. Winkle finds himself at the center of attention on a bustling Victorian street. The onlookers surrounding him cannot contain their amusement at this unexpected turn of events. They point and laugh heartily at Mr. Winkle's misfortune, making him an instant laughing stock within the community. With a candle held aloft to light up his bewildered face, Mr. Winkle becomes both a victim and protagonist in this whimsical street scene straight out of Dickensian London. This print serves as a delightful reminder of Dickens' ability to capture everyday mishaps with wit and charm while providing us with insight into Victorian society's love for mocking those who find themselves in amusing situations like poor Mr. Winkle here.
