EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment from Charles Dickens' novel "Hard Times" (1854), depicting the character of Mr. Harthouse, played by actor Henry Arundell, dining at the Bounderby household. The scene is a stark contrast to the harsh realities of life in the fictional industrial town of Coketown, where the novel is set. Mr. Harthouse, a wealthy and worldly gentleman, is a rare visitor to the area and represents the contrasting world of wealth and privilege. He is here to investigate the living conditions and treatment of the working class, spurred on by his sympathy for their plight. The Bounderbys, on the other hand, are the wealthy and influential factory owners, who represent the heartless and uncaring elite. The table is set with fine china, crystal glasses, and elegant cutlery, a stark contrast to the meager meals and makeshift utensils of the working class. Mr. Harthouse's presence is a reminder of the stark divide between the haves and the have-nots in Victorian England. The novel, which explores themes of industrialization, education, and the dehumanizing effects of capitalism, was published in serial form in Dickens' weekly journal "Household Words" between December 1854 and August 1855. The image of Mr. Harthouse dining at the Bounderbys serves as a powerful visual representation of the social and economic inequalities that Dickens sought to address through his writing. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a unique glimpse into the world of Dickens' novel and offers a fascinating insight into the social and historical context of Victorian England.
