Dickens Novelist Places Slides Wych
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically Old Houses in Wych Street, a scene immortalized in Charles Dickens' vivid literary imagination. The renowned Victorian novelist and author, Dickens (1812-1870), was deeply connected to London's history and its people, often drawing inspiration from his surroundings for his groundbreaking works. In this photograph, we see a row of old, weathered houses lining the narrow, cobblestone street of Wych Street, located in the heart of London. The houses, with their faded facades and intricate architectural details, exude an air of history and charm, much like the characters and settings Dickens brought to life in his novels. The image invites us to explore the hidden corners of the city and delve deeper into the world of one of literature's most beloved figures. The lantern slide, part of Box 330 in the Charles Dickens (Life and Works) collection, dates back to the 1890s, offering a rare glimpse into the past through the lens of a bygone era. This image not only serves as a visual reminder of Dickens' literary legacy but also transports us to a time when London's streets were teeming with life, history, and the boundless creativity of one of the world's greatest authors.
