The Adventures of Oliver Twist. [With plates
Charles Dickens's novel of a workhouse orphan in London's criminal underworld, reissued by Richard Edward King in 1893 with George Cruikshank's original 1838 etchings for a general reading public. The twenty-four plates are cross-hatched interior scenes—low beamed cellars, taverns, workhouse halls—with caricatured figures in tailcoats and tricorns, offering period costume, gestural crowd groupings, and dark hatched shadow textures.
