EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a scene from the life of Charles Dickens, the renowned Victorian novelist and social critic, at The Black Horse Inn in Surrey. Dating back to the late 1890s, this image transports us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages, quaint inns, and the literary brilliance of one of England's most celebrated authors. Charles Dickens, born in 1812, is known for his vivid storytelling and unforgettable characters, many of which were inspired by the people and places he encountered during his travels. The Black Horse Inn, located in Surrey, is believed to have served as the setting for scenes in Dickens' novel "The Pickwick Papers," where the character Sam Weller famously quips, "The law is a ass - a idiot." The image showcases a cozy and rustic scene, with the Black Horse Inn standing proudly at the center. The inn's red-painted facade, with its distinctive black horse sign, is framed by lush greenery and a clear blue sky. A horse-drawn carriage is parked in front, and a few figures can be seen milling about, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the scene. The lantern slide, part of Box 330 Charles Dickens (Life and Works) from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past and the life of one of the most influential writers in English literature. This image not only provides a visual representation of Dickens' connection to The Black Horse Inn in Surrey but also serves as a reminder of the rich history and literary heritage that continues to inspire us today.
