1836 Dickens Fagin Gang Introduced Meets Oliver Thieves
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the pivotal moment when the young orphan Oliver Twist (37) is introduced to the seemingly respectable old gentleman, Fagin, in Charles Dickens' classic novel, "Oliver Twist," published in 1836. The scene takes place in Fagin's den, filled with an eclectic assortment of books and curiosities, which serve as disguises for the hidden world of crime and deceit that lies beneath. Fagin, the head of a notorious gang of thieves, is actually the mastermind behind Oliver's recent experiences in the workhouse and on the streets of Victorian London. Despite his deceptive appearance, Fagin's true intentions are far from honorable. He plans to use Oliver as a pickpocket and train him in the art of theft. The contrast between the innocent and trusting Oliver and the cunning and manipulative Fagin is palpable in this photograph. Oliver, dressed in his threadbare workhouse uniform, looks up at Fagin with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension, while Fagin, with his sly smile and knowing gaze, holds out a promising future of food, shelter, and a sense of belonging. This image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the complex and intriguing world of Dickens' "Oliver Twist," a novel that continues to captivate readers with its exploration of the darker side of human nature and the resilience of the human spirit.
