121205Circa 1880. . Head and shoulders gilt bronze relief bronze relief of Charles Dickens in profile in a fine state of mounted on contemporary dark brown silver velvet contemporary gilt wood slip and mahogany frame. natural age patina making this a very attractive wholly original piece; overall size 405 x 370 mm.<br /> Following Charles Dickens's untimely and sudden death in June 1870 there was an international outpouring of grief since he enjoyed a wider popularity during his lifetime than had any previous author. There were numerous items produced to commemorate his life but the quality of this particular portrait makes it one of the scarcer ones especially in such very good condition. <br /><br />Much in Dickens' work could appeal to the simple and the sophisticated to the poor and to Queen Victoria no less. Technological developments as well as the qualities of his work enabled his fame to spread world-wide very quickly. His long career saw fluctuations in the reception and sales of individual novels but none of them was negligible or uncharacteristic or disregarded. Even though he is now admired for aspects and phases of his work that were given less weight by his contemporaries his popularity has never ceased.<br /> [Circa 1880]. unknown
