EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant scene from Charles Dickens' beloved novel, "Nicholas Nickleby". The engraving, created in 1867 by F. O. C. Darley and R. Hinshelwood, depicts the characters Nicholas and Smike in an emotionally charged moment. In this evocative image, Nicholas is seen gently placing his hand on Smike's shoulder as they kneel together. Their surroundings suggest an interior setting with stoves in the background, adding to the atmosphere of warmth and intimacy. The expressions on their faces convey a deep sense of sadness and sorrow. The caption accompanying this powerful artwork reads: "Hush!" said Nicholas laying his hand upon his shoulder. Be a man; you are nearly one by years. God help you". These words encapsulate the compassion and guidance that Nicholas offers to Smike during their tumultuous journey. The attention to detail in this engraving brings these fictional characters to life, capturing their raw emotions and vulnerability. It serves as a reminder of Dickens' ability to create complex characters who resonate with readers across generations. As we gaze upon this print from the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection, we are transported into the world of "Nicholas Nickleby" where literature intertwines with human experiences, leaving us deeply moved by its timeless themes of friendship, resilience, and hope.
