EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Stagg, c. 1920s" transports us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the world of literature and art. Created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd), this pen and ink with watercolor on paper artwork measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Book Department. The image is part of a collection called "Eighteen Original Character Illustrations to Barnaby Rudge" which was inspired by Charles Dickens' novel of the same name. The figure depicted in this illustration is Stagg, a character from the book known for his disheveled appearance and poverty-stricken life. Intriguingly, Stagg is portrayed as blind but cunning, creeping through his challenging circumstances with resilience and craftiness. This portrayal captures both the hardship faced by individuals during that era and their ability to navigate adversity through intellect. The illustration showcases Kyd's mastery in capturing characters from literary works with remarkable detail and emotion. Through his skilled brushstrokes, he brings Stagg to life, allowing viewers to connect with this complex personality from Dickens' imagination. As we admire this piece of artistry from nearly a century ago, it serves as a reminder of the enduring power of literature and its ability to transport us across time periods while evoking empathy for fictional characters who reflect our own human experiences.
