EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Sally Brass, a formidable character from Charles Dickens' novel, The Old Curiosity Shop. Created in 1923 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this colour lithograph showcases Sally Brass's stern and austere demeanor. Sally Brass is portrayed as the sister and partner of Sampson Brass in their law firm. Known for her fierce personality, she is often referred to as a dragon due to her strong-willed nature. This vintage card, originally produced as a cigarette card by John Player & Sons, beautifully depicts Sally in full length. The artist skillfully brings out the intensity of Sally's character through his caricature-like portrayal. Her sharp features and piercing gaze convey her role as an adviser and plotter within the intricate web of Dickensian literature. As we observe this portrait, we are transported back to Victorian times where legal matters were handled with meticulous precision. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into the world of law and order that Dickens so masterfully crafted. Whether you are an avid fan of Charles Dickens or simply appreciate vintage artistry, this print offers a unique window into one of literature's most memorable characters. Displayed proudly in any collection or space, it serves as a reminder of the enduring power that fictional characters hold over our imagination.
