EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Daniel Peggotty, a beloved character from Charles Dickens' timeless novel, David Copperfield. Created in 1923 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this vibrant colour lithograph captures the essence of Mr. Peggotty, a hearty and rugged Yarmouth boatman. With his distinctive beard and Victorian attire, Mr. Peggotty stands tall with a steadfast expression on his face. The vintage card exudes an air of nostalgia as it was part of the renowned series of Character Sketches from Charles Dickens produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons. The image beautifully portrays the character's warmth and strength through his confident posture and trusty walking stick. One can almost imagine him strolling along the shores of Great Yarmouth, where he resided as Little Em'ly's uncle. As one delves into the world of Dickensian fiction, this portrait serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry woven by Charles Dickens himself. It encapsulates not only the spirit of Daniel Peggotty but also represents an era long gone. This remarkable piece is now part of a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of an unforgettable literary figure. Its presence evokes curiosity about Mr. Peggotty's role within David Copperfield's narrative while offering glimpses into life during that period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this iconic artwork for enthusiasts to appreciate and cherish—a testament to both Kyd's artistic talent and Dickens' enduring legacy
