EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the heartwarming scene of Caleb Plummer and his blind daughter, a beloved character from Charles Dickens' renowned novel "The Cricket on the Hearth". Published around 1894, this lithograph by Frederick Barnard showcases the tender relationship between father and daughter in their humble dwelling. In this Victorian-era setting, we witness Caleb's dedication as a toymaker, surrounded by an array of dolls and toys that he meticulously crafts. The room exudes an air of poverty, yet it is filled with love and warmth. His blind daughter sits beside him, her delicate fingers exploring one of his creations—a dollhouse perhaps—while a rocking horse stands nearby. Dickensian in nature, this image transports us into the world of Bertha and her devoted father. Despite their meager circumstances, they find solace in each other's company amidst the hardships they face daily. It serves as a poignant reminder that love transcends material wealth. As we gaze upon this engraving from Thomas Archer's book about Dickens' life, we are reminded of the power of imagination and playfulness even in times of adversity. This print encapsulates not only a Christmas story but also embodies themes such as resilience, compassion, and familial bonds that resonate across time.
