EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Presidential, c. 1920s" takes us back in time to the era of 1920s America. Created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), a British artist known for his illustrations, this artwork showcases a character from Charles Dickens' renowned book "American Notes for General Circulation". In this full-length illustration, we see a distinguished male figure dressed in an elegant coat and top hat, epitomizing the fashion trends of the roaring twenties. The attention to detail is remarkable as every stroke of pen and ink with watercolor on paper brings life to this literary character. The image not only captures the essence of American society during that period but also pays homage to Charles Dickens' observations made during his visit to the United States in 1842. It serves as a visual travelogue depicting scenes from Dickens' insightful book. As we delve into this piece, we are transported into a world where literature intertwines with artistry, inviting us to explore both history and imagination. This rare find from the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department allows us to appreciate how art can transcend time and bring characters from beloved stories alive once more.
