This volume by Claud Lovat Fraser is a fantastic collection of lively portraits capturing the personalities and eccentricities of characters from the stories of Charles Dickens. The exhibition includes famous characters like the dastardly Fagin and orphan Oliver Twist, as well as lesser-known figures such as Uncle Pumplechook from Great Expectations. Familiar or not, the colourful caricatures together with their wonderfully suggestive names give a glimpse into Dickens' oeuvre and may even inspire you to delve into his back catalogue.
