1836 Asks Cruikshank Dickens Oliver Twist
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Oliver Asks for More" from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich literary history of Charles Dickens and the iconic illustrations of George Cruikshank. The scene depicts Oliver Twist, the young orphan protagonist from Dickens' seminal novel, reaching out to the table with an imploring expression, asking for 'more' of the meager porridge served to him and his fellow orphans at the workhouse. Published in 1836, "Oliver Twist" was a groundbreaking work that exposed the harsh realities of poverty and the plight of orphans in Victorian England. Cruikshank's illustrations, which accompanied the novel, brought the story to life and helped to establish Dickens as a literary force. This particular image, number 37 in the series, is a poignant representation of the novel's themes of hunger, desperation, and the resilience of the human spirit. The image measures 14.3 x 10.4 cm and is a testament to the enduring power of Dickens' storytelling and Cruikshank's illustrative prowess. The intricate details of the illustration, from the folds of Oliver's shirt to the texture of the porridge, transport us back in time and allow us to experience the story in a new and visceral way. This print is not only a valuable addition to any literature or history collection but also serves as a reminder of the importance of storytelling and the power of the written word to evoke emotion and inspire change. With its rich history and cultural significance, "Oliver Asks for More" is a must-have for anyone with a passion for literature, history, or the art of storytelling.
