| Summary | "Scenes and Characters from the Works of Charles Dickens" by Charles Dickens is a collection of illustrations compiled from the original wood blocks, created in the late 19th century. This work showcases around eight hundred and sixty-six pictures by various artists, such as Fred Barnard and Phiz, depicting iconic moments and characters from Dickens's renowned literary works. The illustrations serve not just as a visual accompaniment but also breathe new life into the beloved characters and stories that have captivated readers for generations. The opening of this compilation introduces an engaging discussion about the varied opinions on Dickens's original illustrations, particularly those by Phiz and Cruikshank. The text highlights the evolution of illustration styles and the balance between caricature and realism, suggesting that this collection aims to present Dickens's characters in a new light that respects their essence while appealing to a modern audience. The ensuing sections contain detailed lists of illustrations from numerous Dickens novels, setting the stage for the rich visual storytelling that follows throughout the pages.
