EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Trotty Veck, a beloved character from Charles Dickens' literary masterpiece. Created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) in 1890, this colourful lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Trotty Veck's personality and appearance. Trotty Veck, portrayed here as a ticket porter, stands tall with his walking stick in hand. Despite his scruffy attire and worn-out profile, there is an undeniable charm to this fictional messenger. The full-length portrait allows us to appreciate every detail of his Victorian outfit - from the top hat perched upon his head to the armband adorning his sleeve. As we delve into Dickensian literature, it becomes clear that Christmas holds great significance for many characters. In this illustration titled "The Chimes" bells can be seen hanging in the background, symbolizing hope and renewal during the festive season. With a touch of caricature-like artistry, Kyd brings Trotty Veck to life on paper. His portrayal perfectly encapsulates the rags-to-riches journey often found within Dickens' works. This image serves as a reminder of how literature has the power to transport us into different eras and evoke emotions through its vivid characters. Whether you are an avid reader or simply appreciate fine art prints like this one, Trotty Veck's presence will surely captivate your imagination and leave you yearning for more tales from Charles Dickens' timeless world.
