All of the Original Illustrations From Charles Dickens’ Novels Are Available To View Online via My Modern Met [Shared]

The Charles Dickens Illustrated Gallery has archived all of the original images featured in Dickens' work throughout his creative career. Dr. Michael John Goodman, who is also the creator of the Victorian Illustrated Shakespeare Archive, had the idea to digitize the art from Dickens' novels during the COVID-19 lockdown.

“The world of Dickens illustration is beset with poor reproductions of the source material, so for this project, I have searched out what I consider to be some of the best editions that feature the original illustrations printed to a decent quality,” Goodman explains. After collecting and scanning the images, he even cleaned them up in Photoshop, so that they look as crisp as possible.

The image depicts a lively street scene from a bygone era, likely the 19th century. In the foreground, three men are engaged in conversation. The man on the left is dressed in a striped vest, brown trousers, and a top hat, holding a walking stick. The man in the middle wears a dark suit with a top hat and a cane, while the man on the right is in a green coat and white trousers, also with a top hat. A small white dog stands nearby. To the left, a man in a straw hat and suspenders stands next to a large haystack, with boots and other items scattered on the ground. The background features a two-story building with a red roof, adorned with laundry hanging out to dry. A woman in a red dress is visible through a window on the second floor. The building has a sign that reads "Peach Office." The street is bustling with activity, including a man carrying a large sack and another walking away. The scene is rich in detail, capturing the essence of daily life in a historical setting.
