This print shows Charles Dickens sitting at a desk. He holds a quill and looks up from his papers. A lamp lights his face and papers, casting sharp shadows. George Cruikshank knew Dickens well. They worked together on books like Oliver Twist. This print was made after Dickens died, using an earlier drawing. Check out more drawings by Cruikshank, George at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
