Mr Jorkins, c. 1920s - A Captivating Glimpse into the World of David Copperfield
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Mr Jorkins, a character from Charles Dickens' timeless novel, David Copperfield. Created by Joseph Clayton Clarke (Kyd) in the 1920s, this pen and ink illustration with watercolor on paper brings to life the enigmatic persona of Mr Jorkins. In this full-length portrait, we see Mr Jorkins dressed in a Victorian-era costume complete with a top hat. His expression is one of surprise and astonishment, as if caught off guard by an unexpected turn of events. The intricate details captured by Clarke's skilled hand highlight his mastery in capturing characters from literature. The composition transports us back to the 20th century when novels like David Copperfield were cherished for their rich storytelling and vivid characters. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the profound impact that literature has had on shaping our understanding of society during that era. With its impeccable attention to detail and expressive portrayal, this illustration not only pays homage to Charles Dickens' literary genius but also serves as a testament to Kyd's artistic prowess. It is no wonder that this piece now resides within the Rare Book Department at the Free Library of Philadelphia - a treasure trove for art enthusiasts and book lovers alike. Through "Mr Jorkins" viewers are invited into a world where imagination intertwines with reality; where characters leap off
