Mr Alfred Jingle from Pickwick Papers – Original Dickens Character Lithograph by Kyd, c.1889
Description:
This expressive and sharply stylized lithograph portrays Mr Alfred Jingle, the flamboyant, fast-talking actor and adventurer from The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens. Created by the renowned illustrator Joseph Clayton Clarke, who signed his work “Kyd,” this piece is part of a beloved series of late 19th-century caricatures published by Raphael Tuck & Sons depicting characters from Dickens' novels.
Alfred Jingle is captured in his signature theatrical pose—hat tilted, hand extended, and mid-sentence—perfectly mirroring his disjointed, abrupt style of speech. Dressed in a tight green tailcoat and matching trousers, his figure is lean, dramatic, and filled with restless energy. Kyd's exaggerated lines and keen attention to posture and expression vividly embody the peculiar rhythm of Jingle’s eccentric dialogue and charming duplicity.
The chromolithograph technique used here allows for a vivid rendering of both texture and shading, with muted background tones that softly contrast the central figure. The color palette—deep forest greens, dusky shadows, and blush undertones—evokes a theatrical atmosphere that suits Jingle's itinerant, performative nature.
Jingle is one of Dickens’ most comic and morally ambiguous creations, whose escapades in *The Pickwick Papers* (Dickens’ first novel, serialized in 1836–37) lend both chaos and humor to the narrative. As a literary character, he exemplifies the blend of satire and sympathy that defines Dickens’ view of Victorian society.
This original lithograph is a collectible piece of Dickensian visual culture, ideal for enthusiasts of English literature, theatrical illustration, or Victorian caricature art.
Condition report:
Original late 19th-century chromolithograph. Some scattered foxing in the outer margin areas. Central image well preserved with vibrant color and strong impression. No tears or repairs.
Framing tips:
Consider a slender black or dark green wooden frame to echo the figure’s attire, paired with an ivory or antique white mat. A double mat (white over green) could enhance the composition without overwhelming it.
