EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Uriah Heep" brings to life one of Charles Dickens' most infamous characters from his novel, David Copperfield. Created by Frederick Barnard in 1894, this print captures the essence of Uriah Heep's sinister nature and deceitful demeanor. Seated on a stool in a dimly lit study, Uriah Heep is depicted with writhing hands, seemingly plotting his next scheme. His face bears an unsettling expression as he rubs his palms together, revealing the true nature of this hypocritical fraudster. The Victorian setting adds to the overall ambiance of secrecy and manipulation that surrounds him. With a quill in hand and an inkwell on his desk, Uriah Heep appears deeply engrossed in writing - perhaps crafting another web of lies or forging documents for personal gain. This engraving perfectly captures the character's calculating personality and cunning intellect. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every line etched into the image seems to convey Uriah Heep's malevolent intentions. It serves as a haunting reminder of Dickens' masterful ability to create complex characters that resonate with readers long after they have turned the final page. Displayed within this print is not just an illustration but also a glimpse into Dickensian literature at its finest – where villains are crafted with such depth that they become unforgettable figures throughout literary history.
