EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Mr. Tupman and the Spinster Aunt are startled by the appearance of Joe, the Fat Boy," is a striking illustration from the classic novel "The Pickwick Papers" by Charles Dickens, first published in 1836-37. The scene depicts Mr. Tupman and the spinster aunt, two proper Victorian-era individuals, seated on a garden bench, engrossed in their books and papers. Their tranquil moment is disrupted by the unexpected arrival of Joe, the Fat Boy, who appears on the side of the seat, his bulky figure startling the pair. Joe, a beloved character in Dickens' work, is known for his obesity and childlike demeanor. Dressed in a simple shirt and trousers, he clutches a toy in one hand, while the other hand reaches out for support as he attempts to join the pair on the bench. The contrast between the slim, refined figures of Mr. Tupman and the spinster aunt and the round, unpolished appearance of Joe adds to the intrigue and humor of the scene. The illustration, which dates back to 1836, offers a glimpse into the historical context of the time, providing a window into the lives of Victorian-era individuals and their social norms. The image also highlights the theme of obesity, a topic that was not often addressed in literature during that period. The unexpected presence of Joe, the Fat Boy, not only adds an element of surprise but also challenges societal expectations and norms of the time. Overall, this image is a fascinating piece of literary and historical art, capturing the essence of Dickens' storytelling and offering a glimpse into the past. The image is available for rights-managed use through Mary Evans Prints Online, making it an excellent addition to any collection focused on Victorian literature, historical art, or social commentary.
