Oliver Twist meets the mischievous Artful Dodger in a tale of hunger and adventure. In this captivating illustration by Harry Furniss, we witness Oliver's exhaustion after walking for seven days. Tears well up in his eyes as he confides in the strange young gentleman, expressing his weariness and hunger. The scene sets the stage for their fateful encounter. As Oliver falls into the clutches of Fagin, a notorious criminal, he becomes entangled in a world of pickpocketing and deceit. Juxtaposed against George Cruikshank's stunning illustration, we see the amazement on Oliver's face as he witnesses the Artful Dodger skillfully picking pockets. J Comyns Carr brings to life another pivotal moment from Charles Dickens' masterpiece - Oliver meeting Fagin himself. This encounter marks a turning point in Oliver's journey as he is introduced to a gang of young thieves led by Fagin. Amidst all these twists and turns, it is important not to forget that humor can be found even in dark times. A comic postcard from WW1 featuring K-Nut dressed elegantly reminds us that laughter can provide solace during difficult periods. The vivid illustrations also shed light on social dynamics during Dickens' era. Children dressed as different classes serve as a reminder of societal divisions prevalent at that time while Hindoo Cricketers depicted in an engraving highlight cultural diversity. Through these various hints and illustrations, 'Dodger' takes us on an unforgettable journey through Victorian London where innocence collides with cunningness and resilience battles against adversity.
