EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mr Quayle, c. 1920s" takes us back in time to the Victorian era, specifically the 1920s. Created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), a renowned British artist from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork showcases his exceptional talent. The subject of the portrait, Mr Quayle, is depicted in full-length attire with a charming smile that exudes confidence and charisma. Dressed in tails and donning a distinctive costume of the period, he embodies the fashion trends of the roaring twenties. The illustration originates from Charles Dickens' classic novel "Bleak House" which was published as installments between 1852-53. This particular piece is one of twenty-four original character illustrations created by Kyd for this literary masterpiece. As we delve into this image, we are transported to a world where literature meets artistry. The attention to detail in capturing Mr Quayle's personality through Clarke's brushstrokes is truly remarkable. It serves as a testament to both Dickens' ability to create memorable characters and Kyd's skillful interpretation. Displayed within the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department, this print not only celebrates great literature but also pays homage to an era long gone by. It reminds us of how visual representations can bring fictional characters to life while preserving their essence for generations to come.
