EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to Thavies Inn, a significant historical landmark in the life of Charles Dickens. Located on Holborn, near Holborn Circus, Thavies Inn was one of the Inns of Chancery, deeply intertwined with the history of Lincoln's Inn. The Inn, now represented by Thavies Inn Buildings, was a crucial part of the legal world during the Victorian era. Charles Dickens, the renowned English novelist and writer, frequently referenced Thavies Inn in his works, most notably in his novel "Bleak House." The association between the Inn and Dickens' literature has become a defining aspect of Thavies Inn's history. This photograph, taken in the late 1890s, captures the essence of the past as it depicts Thavies Inn in its original state. The image serves as a testament to the rich history and the intriguing connections that exist between the literary world and the legal institutions of the 19th century. The photograph, part of Box 330 Charles Dickens (Life and Works), slide no. 8, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to imagine the bustling activity that once surrounded Thavies Inn and the profound impact it had on the life and works of Charles Dickens.
