The Old Curiosity Shop
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Dickens, published in 1840-1841, tells the story of the malicious and hunchbacked moneylender, Daniel Quilp, and his obsession with the young orphan, Kit Nubbles. In this evocative image from the era, Quilp stands before an old, battered figurehead, his face contorted with mockery as he cries out, "Is it like Kit - is it his picture, his image, his very self?" The figurehead, a relic from a ship, stands ominously in the dimly lit shop, surrounded by an assortment of curious and bizarre objects. Quilp's attorney, Sampson Brass, stands off to the side, visibly uncomfortable with the dwarf's strange behavior. Quilp's fixation on Kit's likeness in the figurehead is a testament to his twisted obsession and his desire to possess the young boy. The dimly lit shop, filled with oddities, adds to the sense of mystery and intrigue, as if the shop itself holds the key to Quilp's dark intentions. This image captures the essence of Dickens' classic tale, with its intricate details and vivid characterization. Quilp's malicious grin and the ominous figurehead create a haunting and memorable scene, transporting us back to the world of "The Old Curiosity Shop." The image, dated around 1850, is a testament to the enduring power of Dickens' storytelling and the captivating nature of his characters.
