EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a pivotal moment in Charles Dickens' novel, Bleak House. This lithograph by Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz), published in 1853, brings to life the enigmatic character of Tulkinghorn. Seated in a grand living room, he exudes an air of authority and intrigue. Tulkinghorn's presence is felt as soon as one lays eyes on this print. His piercing gaze and stern expression hint at his role as Lady Dedlock's lawyer, harboring secrets that could unravel her carefully constructed world. The artist skillfully portrays the tension between Tulkinghorn and his visitor through their body language - both seated but with a noticeable distance between them. The Victorian-era setting adds to the atmospheric charm of this illustration. Every detail within the drawing reflects the meticulousness for which Dickens' works are renowned.
