EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "OLIVER TWIST, 1837-38" we witness Oliver's astonishment at the Artful Dodger's unconventional way of making a living. Etched by George Cruikshank for the first edition of Charles Dickens' renowned novel, Oliver Twist, this artwork transports us back to early 19th century England. Oliver Twist, a young boy caught in the web of crime and poverty, stands wide-eyed as he observes the Dodger's mode of going to work. The etching beautifully captures Oliver's innocence juxtaposed with the harsh realities that surround him. As an English literature masterpiece, Dickens' novel delves into themes such as pickpocketing and theft prevalent during that era. George Cruikshank masterfully brings these characters to life through his intricate etching technique. His attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this pivotal moment from the story. We can almost feel Oliver's amazement radiating off the page. This print serves as a reminder not only of Dickens' literary genius but also of Cruikshank's artistic prowess. It is a testament to their collaborative efforts in creating enduring works that continue to captivate audiences today. As we gaze upon this image, let us appreciate its historical significance and reflect on how literature and art have shaped our understanding of society throughout time.
