1836 Appearance Dickens Papers Pickwick Samuel Weller
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image marks the first appearance of the iconic character, Mr. Samuel Weller, in Charles Dickens' novel "The Pickwick Club," published in 1836. In this scene, Mr. Pickwick, portrayed as a kind-hearted but naive gentleman, encounters Samuel Weller, his loyal and witty servant, in the Eatanswill election scene. The historical photograph, published by Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a scene from the original illustration that accompanied the text in the first edition of the novel. The illustration, created in 1836, is a testament to the enduring popularity of Dickens' work and the impact it had on Victorian literature and culture. Mr. Pickwick, dressed in a fashionable suit and top hat, stands in the foreground, looking surprised and slightly amused as Mr. Weller, wearing a traditional livery and carrying a large bundle of papers, approaches him. Weller's confident and assertive demeanor is evident in his posture and expression, as he delivers a sarcastic remark with a twinkle in his eye. The intricate details of the illustration, from the folds of the characters' clothing to the textured background, transport us back in time to the bustling streets of 19th-century England. This photograph is not only a valuable historical artifact but also a visual representation of the rich literary heritage that continues to captivate readers and scholars alike. The first appearance of Mr. Samuel Weller in "The Pickwick Club" not only introduced a beloved character to the world but also set the stage for Dickens' unique storytelling style and his ability to create memorable and complex characters. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of Dickens' work on literature and the power of the written word to transport us to another time and place.
