1852 Bleak Bone Chancellor Copies Dickens Memory Ware House
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "The Lord Chancellor Copies From Memory Krook shows off his rag and bone warehouse," transports us back in time to the bleak and historical streets of 1850s London. The photograph, published by Mary Evans Picture Library from their extensive collection, captures a scene of the infamous character, Krook, proudly displaying the contents of his rag and bone warehouse. Krook, a fictional character created by Charles Dickens, is best known for his appearance in the novel "Bleak House." He is a rag and bone man, a collector of old rags, bones, and other discarded items, who makes a living by selling these items to buyers for reuse or recycling. In this photograph, we see Krook standing in front of his warehouse, surrounded by piles of old books, bones, and other assorted items. His expression suggests a sense of pride and satisfaction, as if he takes great joy in the wealth of history and potential contained within the walls of his humble warehouse. The image is a poignant reminder of the past, when waste was not discarded but repurposed, and the value of knowledge was not measured by its newness but by its age and history. The photograph also highlights the stark contrast between the wealth of knowledge and history contained within the warehouse and the poverty and bleakness of the surroundings. The image invites us to reflect on the value of the past and the importance of preserving it for future generations. The photograph, taken in 1852, is a valuable historical document that provides a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the daily life of Londoners during this period. It is a reminder of the rich history and culture that has shaped our world and inspires us to continue exploring and learning from the past.
