EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Uriah Heep, a wicked and deceitful character from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, David Copperfield. Created in 1923 by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this colour lithograph captures the essence of Heep's sinister nature. The image is part of a series called Character Sketches from Charles Dickens, which was produced as cigarette cards by John Player & Sons. In this portrait, Uriah Heep is depicted as a young man with an unmistakable air of dishonesty. His slimy demeanor and repulsive appearance are skillfully brought to life through Kyd's artistic interpretation. As Mr. Wickfield's secretary, Heep cunningly steals and cheats his way through life while harboring a deep hatred for the protagonist, David Copperfield. The Victorian setting adds an extra layer of authenticity to this vintage card that has become an iconic representation of literary villainy. With clammy hands and a humble facade that masks his true intentions, Uriah Heep stands as one of Dickens' most memorable characters. This print serves as both a visual tribute to Dickensian literature and a reminder of the timeless allure found within classic works. It invites viewers into the world created by Charles Dickens over a century ago – where fictional characters like Uriah Heep continue to captivate our imagination with their complexity and intrigue.
