EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases Charles Dickens in the role of Captain Bobadil from Ben Jonson's "Every Man in His Humour," a play that first premiered in 1598. Dickens, renowned for his literary genius, took on the theatrical world in his youth, making his debut as an actor in 1827. He appeared in various productions, including this one, where he donned the elaborate costume of Captain Bobadil. Captain Bobadil, a character in Jonson's satirical comedy, is a vain and boastful man who takes pride in his appearance. In this image, Dickens embodies the character flawlessly, wearing a high-collared shirt, an extravagant hat adorned with feathers, and a sword at his side. The boots, polished to a shine, complete the Captain's regal appearance. The photograph, taken between 1812 and 1870, captures Dickens in his early acting career, before he gained international fame as a novelist. It offers a unique glimpse into the versatile talents of the literary icon, showcasing his ability to captivate audiences not only through his words but also through his performances on stage. This historical photograph print is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the life and career of Charles Dickens, or for those interested in the history of theatre and the evolution of acting techniques. The image not only encapsulates Dickens' youthful exuberance but also serves as a reminder of his multifaceted artistic abilities.
