This print showcases "Marley's Ghost - A Christmas Carol" by Joseph Clayton Clarke, also known as Kyd. Created in the 1920s using pen and ink with watercolor on paper, this artwork measures 28.5x22.5 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia. The illustration is part of a collection called "Twenty-Four Original Character Illustrations to the Christmas Books" which includes Charles Dickens' famous works such as "A Christmas Carol" "The Chimes" "The Cricket on the Hearth" "The Battle of Life" and "The Haunted Man and the Ghosts Bargain". These books are collectively known as the Christmas books. In this particular image, we see Marley's ghost depicted in full length, surrounded by chains that symbolize his past misdeeds.

As viewers gaze upon this evocative piece, they are transported into Dickens' timeless tale filled with themes of redemption and self-reflection during Christmastime. It serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always
