EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Mrs Gummidge" in all her glory, captured by the talented artist Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) during the 1920s. The artwork, created using pen and ink with watercolor on paper, measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department. The image depicts a full-length figure of Mrs Gummidge, a character from Charles Dickens' renowned novel "David Copperfield". Dressed in a Victorian-era costume complete with an apron and bonnet, she exudes both strength and vulnerability as a widow navigating life's challenges. Clarke's illustration beautifully captures the essence of this beloved literary character, bringing her to life through intricate details and expressive brushstrokes. The painting serves as one of thirty-six original character illustrations for "David Copperfield" originally published in installments in 1849. Transporting us back to the 1920s, this artwork not only celebrates literature but also offers insight into fashion trends of that era. It provides viewers with a glimpse into how characters were visualized during that time period while honoring Dickens' timeless storytelling. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let us appreciate its historical significance as it preserves both artistry and literature within its delicate strokes.
