"Welcome to the Charles Dickens Illustrated Gallery! Here you will find all the
original illustrations to Charles Dickens's novels (and Sketches by Boz), where
you are free to download, browse, share, remix, research, or use in whatever
ways you can imagine. If you do use the images, please reference where you got
them from. Something along the lines of 'Michael John Goodman, Charles Dickens
Illustrated Gallery,
www.CharlesDickensIllustration.org', would be ideal. Or
better yet, get in contact and tell me how you are planning on using the
illustrations in your projects.
This website is very much a gallery, and I encourage users to consider each
novel's page like a room in a gallery where they can quietly contemplate each
image, read the name of its title, and enlarge the illustration to full-screen
size. Obviously, the art of illustration is dependant on both words and images,
but this site does not place Dickens's words alongside the illustrations in
order that we may look closer at the images and celebrate them in their own
right, without necessarily being overshadowed by Dickens's text. In many ways,
it is a call-back to the print-shops and galleries of the nineteenth-century,
where illustrated prints would often be placed in the windows of these
establishments, tempting potential customers to buy the latest instalment of a
novel. Similarly, If this website encourages users to read more Dickens (or to
further explore the work of one of the artists), then it has done a very
satisfactory job."
