This engraving, titled "Oliver and Little Dick" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century childhood. The illustration, created by an English School artist in the late 1800s, is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "Child-Pictures from Dickens" published by Griffith, Farran, Okeden & Welsh around 1885. The image showcases two young boys - Oliver Twist and his friend Little Dick - who are beloved fictional characters from Charles Dickens' renowned novel. With meticulous detail and skillful artistry, the engraver brings these wonderful characters to life on paper. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when children's literature held immense power in capturing hearts and minds. The innocence of childhood shines through as Oliver and Little Dick engage in their adventures together.

It stands as a testament to both the enduring appeal of Dickens' work and the artistic talent that breathes life into literary worlds.
