EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mr and Mrs Harry Walmers and Cobbs" takes us back to the enchanting world of Charles Dickens' novels. Illustrated by Harold Copping in 1924, this colourful lithograph is a delightful addition to the compilation "Character Sketches from Dickens" by B. W. Matz. The image transports us to a Victorian tavern where we witness an intriguing scene unfold. Mr and Mrs Harry Walmers, dressed impeccably in their period costumes, are accompanied by their mischievous child, Cobbs. The groundsman stands nearby with his trusty hoe while observing the commotion. It seems that this family's story is far from ordinary as they appear to be runaways eloping from something or someone unknown. Perhaps it is a forbidden love affair or simply an adventurous escape from their mundane lives. Regardless of the reason, their determination shines through as they prepare for their journey. In this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of anticipation mixed with anxiety on their faces. The master holds onto a wheelbarrow filled with essential belongings while his wife clutches her child tightly. Their eyes meet briefly before setting off into the unknown. This evocative print captures not only the spirit of Dickensian tales but also reflects upon themes such as love, rebellion, and freedom during that era. It serves as a reminder that even within strict societal norms, individuals found ways to break free and chase after happiness against all odds.
