EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Twist / Cruikshank / Claimed," dates back to the mid-19th century and was first published around 1836-37. The image features the renowned English author Charles Dickens, then a young and emerging literary figure, alongside the celebrated illustrator Robert Seymour Cruikshank. The scene captures a moment of camaraderie and affection between the two men, as Dickens reaches out to place a protective hand on Cruikshank's shoulder. At the time, Dickens was in the process of writing some of his earliest and most successful works, including "Oliver Twist," which would be published in serial form beginning in 1837. Cruikshank, known for his innovative and satirical illustrations, collaborated with Dickens on several projects, including the initial publication of "Oliver Twist." Their collaboration proved to be a fruitful one, with Cruikshank's illustrations greatly enhancing the impact and popularity of Dickens' stories. This print serves as a testament to the deep friendship and creative partnership that existed between the two men during this pivotal period in both their careers. The warm and affectionate expression on Dickens' face, as well as the supportive and contented posture of Cruikshank, convey the deep bond that existed between them. The print also serves as a reminder of the important role that illustrations played in the literary world of the 19th century, and the crucial role that collaborations between authors and illustrators could have in shaping the cultural landscape of their time.
