Wagstaffe in 1843; the third (now in South Kensington
Museum) was reproduced in mezzotint by S. W. Reynolds; the
fourth, "Dolly Varden and Emma Haredale," was engraved by S.
W. Reynolds and G. S. Shury in 1845. The second portrait of
Dolly, which was painted for Dickens, has never been
engraved; there are in existence, however, a few impressions
of a chromo-lithographic reproduction (now very scarce) of
Mr. Frith's original sketch for the picture, the publication
of which was unauthorised. The portrait of Kate Nickleby was
engraved by W. Holl, A.R.A., and published in 1848
exclusively for the members of the National Art Union for
Ireland.
The "Dorrit" pictures were painted in 1859, and engraved on
steel by Lumb Stocks, R.A., as vignettes for the Library
Edition, then in course of publication.
W. GALE.--"Mr. F.'s Aunt" ("Little Dorrit"). Royal Academy,
1857.
When Wilkie Collins saw this clever picture at the Academy,
he was so much impressed that he wrote at once concerning it
to Dickens, who replied (May 22, 1857): "I am very much
excited by what you tell me of Mr. F.'s Aunt. I already look
upon her as mine. Will you bring her with you?" The painting
was purchased by Dickens through Collins, and realised at
the sale of the novelist's effects the sum of sixty guineas.

In the above list the most interesting picture, in many respects, is Mr.
Frith's "Dolly Varden." The artist was quite a young man, just rising
into fame, when (in 1843) he made great success with several charming
presentments of the locksmith's bewitching daughter, and on seeing one
of these (described by Dickens as "Dolly with the bracelet"), the
novelist so much admired it that he commissioned Mr. Frith to paint
another portrait of her, together with a companion picture of Kate
Nickleby. Writing shortly afterwards to the artist, whose acquaintance
Dickens then made, he said, in reference to an engraving of the subject
by C. E. Wagstaffe: "I saw an unfinished proof of Dolly at Mitchell's
some two or three months ago: I thought it was proceeding excellently
well then. It will give me great pleasure to see her when completed."
The two pictures, when finished, were hung in the dining-room of the
novelist's house. At the expiration of a few years, the portrait of Kate
Nickleby was sent to Ireland (by Mr. Frith's desire) for the purpose of
being engraved, and was delayed there so long that Dickens began to feel
impatient. Accordingly, one morning he forwarded to the artist the
following document, indited by himself:--
"ADVERTISEMENT.--To K--e N--y.--The Young Lady in Black, K.N.--If you
will return to your disconsolate friends in Devonshire Terrace your
absence in Ireland will be forgotten and forgiven, and you will be
received with open arms. Think of your dear sister Dolly, and how
altered her appearance and character are without you. She is not the
same girl. Think, too, of the author of your being, and what he must
feel, when he sees your place empty every day!
"_October Tenth, 1848._"
For each of these remarkable canvases Mr. Frith received the by no means
extravagant sum of twenty pounds, that being the price demanded by him.
At the sale of Dickens's effects, however, the portrait of Dolly Varden
realised a thousand guineas, while that of Kate Nickleby found a
purchaser, on the same eventful occasion, for two hundred guineas--a
tribute alike to author and artist. Mr. Frith has favoured me with some
interesting information respecting his presentments of Dolly Varden:--
"The picture of 'Dolly Varden' which I painted for Dickens was never
engraved. Before I began it I made a study of the figure, but only the
half-length, down to below the waist. This study was bought by Sir R.
Rawlinson, who allowed (without asking my permission) a most villainous
chromo-lithograph to be made from it, and one day to my horror I saw it
in a shop-window. For anything I know to the contrary, many of these
things may have been sold.[55] The original completed picture never left
Dickens's possession from the time it was finished till he died, nor was
it ever exhibited. The portrait of Dolly (the 'laughing' Dolly) now in
the South Kensington Museum, was bequeathed by Forster, who had it from
Frank Stone, for whom I painted it. I painted two copies of the
'laughing' Dolly, but I don't know what became of them. I also painted
two pictures in which Dolly figures in company with Emma Haredale--in
one she is feeling in her pocket for a letter addressed to Miss
Haredale, and in the other she is disdainfully treating Miss Haredale's
hints about Joe Willet--she throws up her head and 'hopes she can do
better than that, indeed!' I have just remembered another--a small
half-length--in which she is looking at herself in a mirror and giving
her curls a 'killing twist.' I have no idea where these pictures are. I
may add that when Dickens came to see (on completion) my portraits of
Dolly Varden and Kate Nickleby, which I painted expressly for him, he
told me they were 'exactly what he meant.' This, of course, delighted
me. They led to a friendship which lasted till his death." It will be
remembered that in 1859 the novelist gave sittings for his portrait by
Mr. Frith, which was painted as a commission from Forster, by whom it
was bequeathed to the Nation. This portrait, now at South Kensington,
occupies the most important place between the earlier portraits of
Dickens by Samuel Laurence, Maclise, and R. J. Lane, and the later
presentments of him by photography.
Footnote 55: That Mr. Frith did not always entertain such an
absolute objection to this reproduction is testified by the
following memorandum written by him on a copy of the print
now in the collection of Mr. W. R. Hughes:--"This is a very
good chromo-lithograph from the first study for the picture
painted by me for the late Charles Dickens. (Signed) W. P.
FRITH, December 23, 1884."
It is not generally known that Mr. Frith once had the privilege of
illustrating a Dickens novel, _àpropos_ of which the artist writes: "I
told Dickens one day when he was sitting for his likeness that I should
like to be allowed to illustrate one of his books. He seemed pleased,
and proposed 'Little Dorrit.' I forget to whom I sold the pictures, and
where they are now I know not." The two paintings were beautifully
engraved on steel by Lumb Stocks, R.A., as vignettes for the Library
Edition, 1858-59.
The sketch by an American artist, Mr. James Hamilton, of "What are the
Wild Waves Saying?" has a little history attached to it. While Dickens
was in Philadelphia, during his last visit to America, he expressed a
wish to purchase a painting of this subject,--one of the artist's most
successful productions,--but, much to the novelist's regret, it had
already been sold. The original sketch was still available, however, and
with this Dickens was so greatly pleased that he immediately offered to
buy it; whereupon the artist insisted on presenting it to the famous
author of "Dombey and Son." Soon afterwards, Mr. Hamilton was agreeably
surprised to receive a set of Dickens's novels, containing a pleasant
inscription in the novelist's autograph.
The titles of Mr. Charles Green's admirable series of Dickens pictures
were supplied to me by the artist himself, who favoured me with a
complete list shortly before his death. In reference to these remarkable
drawings I have received the following communication from Mr. William
Lockwood, of Apsley Hall, Nottingham, for whom they were painted on
commission: "The first work of Mr. Green's that really attracted my
attention was his famous water-colour Race drawing, entitled, I believe,
'Here they come!' I saw that at a friend's house, and was so struck with
admiration of Mr. Green's delicate sense of humour, subtle rendering of
character, and fine drawing, that I at once told my friend of my great
appreciation of Charles Dickens, and saw that, in my opinion, Mr.
Charles Green would make the very best illustrator of his day of that
great man's work. I then sought an introduction to Mr. Green, which
resulted not only in my beautiful series of drawings, but in a warm
friendship with the artist. In the execution of these pictures Mr. Green
found most congenial work, and I think fully justified my judgment of
his special power. When the series was exhibited at our local museum, it
attracted universal admiration and the delighted appreciation of all
classes." Mr. Lockwood has generously lent these pictures to many London
galleries, including the English Humorists' Exhibition, held at the
Royal Institute of Painters in Water-Colours in 1889.
