EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Serjeant Buzfuz, a formidable figure in the legal world as described by Charles Dickens in his novel "Bleak House." Dickens portrays Buzfuz as a driving and chaffing masculine bar orator, who adds a unique flair to the mundane proceedings of the courtroom. With a twinkle in his eye and a hearty laugh, Buzfuz is known to turn commonplace items like chops and tomato sauce into declarations of love, adding a touch of theatrics and charm to his speeches. Serjeant Buzfuz, played by the renowned actor William Makepeace Thackeray in the 1852 production of "Bleak House," is a character that continues to intrigue and entertain audiences. His larger-than-life personality and unconventional approach to lawyering set him apart from his peers, making him a beloved figure in Dickens' works. The photograph, taken during Thackeray's performance, captures the essence of Buzfuz's charisma and energy. With his stern expression, impeccable attire, and confident posture, Thackeray embodies the essence of the serjeant, bringing Dickens' words to life on the stage. The photograph serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of this iconic character and the power of Dickens' storytelling.
