EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the moment of amusement as Hungry Peter, a man fondly dressed as the Fat Boy from Charles Dickens' classic novel "The Pickwick Papers," struggles to fit into the tight breeches of his elaborate costume. The Fat Boy, a humanized pig character from the story, is known for his excessive appetite and love for food. Dressed in the full regalia of the fictional character, Hungry Peter's expression shows a mix of determination and discomfort as he adjusts the snug trousers. The year is 1914, and the setting is likely a fancy dress ball or a theatrical production. The Fat Boy, an anthropomorphic character from Dickens' literature, has become a popular choice for costume parties and literary-themed events. The image showcases the playful spirit of the era, as well as the enduring appeal of Dickens' works. The Fat Boy's character, with its elements of animalistic charm and human quirks, is a testament to the richness and depth of Dickens' storytelling. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the timeless nature of Dickens' fiction and the joy of dressing up in character for a good cause or a fun night out.
