Newly colorized photograph of Charles Dickens


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A head of the 150th anniversary of Charles Dickens’ death, the London museum that bears his name has released the first in a set of eight newly colorized photographs of the Victorian author.

Per a statement, the photographs will serve as the grand finale of a planned exhibition titled “Technicolor Dickens: The Living Image of Charles Dickens.” The show—featuring photographs, artwork, clothing, personal items and other artifacts—will debut once the English capital’s museums, which are currently closed amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, are allowed to reopen.

In the newly released image, the 47-year-old writer sports a navy jacket over a green, yellow and blue tartan waistcoast. His black bow tie, worn with a simple white shirt, peeks out beneath his dark, bushy beard. Dickens finishes off the outfit with a pair of tan trousers.
