EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Listening to The Old Curiosity Shop in the West" takes us back to the enchanting world of literature in the 19th century. Illustrated for Bret Hart's poem "Little Nell" which was based on a popular anecdote, this image beautifully captures an important moment in literary history. In 1841, when Charles Dickens' book "The Old Curiosity Shop" was published in serial form, it caused quite a sensation across America. As boats arrived in New York from England, they were besieged by eager people craving the next episode of this beloved story. The excitement didn't stop there; as each installment made its way westwards through the vast American landscape, readers eagerly awaited their turn to immerse themselves in Dickens' magical world. This exquisite engraving transports us to that era of anticipation and shared passion for literature. It reminds us of the power that stories hold over our imaginations and how they can bring people together across great distances. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the universal appeal of storytelling and how it transcends time and borders. It serves as a testament to both Charles Dickens' enduring legacy and Bret Hart's skillful adaptation of his work into poetry. Let this remarkable print serve as a reminder that even centuries later, literature continues to captivate hearts around the world with its timeless tales.
