EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Charles Dickens' timeless novel, Great Expectations. Illustrated by the talented Harry Furniss for the Testimonial Edition published in 1910, it depicts Pip's intense struggle with an escaped convict. The scene is filled with tension and drama as the man firmly grips both of Pip's arms, tilting him back to meet his gaze. With eyes that exude power and dominance, he stares deeply into Pip's soul. Furniss masterfully brings this iconic literary moment to life through his skillful sketching technique. Every stroke of his pen conveys the raw emotions experienced by these two characters locked in a battle of wills. As we observe this illustration, we are transported back to Victorian England - a time when social class divisions were starkly evident and expectations weighed heavily on individuals like young Pip. Through this image, we witness not only Pip's physical struggle but also his internal turmoil as he confronts the harsh realities of society and grapples with his own aspirations for greatness. It serves as a reminder of Dickens' ability to create complex characters who face adversity head-on while navigating their way through intricate plots. This classic illustration is a testament to both Furniss' artistic talent and Dickens' enduring legacy as one of English literature's greatest storytellers. It invites us to delve deeper into the world of Great Expectations and explore its themes of ambition, identity, and redemption.
