EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "Jack-Daw (Mr John Dawkins, Junior)," is taken from the intriguing series of shadow portraits created by the renowned English artist, Charles H. Bennett, in 1860. The series, titled "Shadow and Substance," showcases Bennett's extraordinary ability to bring fictional characters to life through the artful manipulation of light and shadow. In this particular piece, we find the cunning and shifty-looking character, Jack Dawkins, Junior, as he clandestinely passes a stolen notice onto the fence. The notice, hidden from view, likely bears a reward for information leading to the capture of the thief. The shadow cast by Jack's hat and coat reveals the silhouette of a jackdaw bird, a bird known for its thievish nature, adding an extra layer of intrigue and symbolism to the scene. John Dawkins, a notorious criminal from the works of Charles Dickens, is depicted here in a moment of illicit activity. His furtive expression and the illicit nature of his actions make for a compelling and suspenseful image. The historical context of this illustration, combined with the intricate play of light and shadow, adds depth and complexity to the character and the story being told. The shadowy figure of Jack Dawkins, with the ominous presence of the jackdaw bird, serves as a reminder of the duality of human nature and the allure of the criminal underworld. This illustration, with its rich history and intriguing narrative, continues to captivate and intrigue viewers over a century and a half after it was first created.
