The Pickwick Club

Tuck/Zag-Zaw, London, England. Plywood, interlocking, cut with 20 figure pieces and scalloped edges. Accurately drawn by Harold Copping from Ch. 1, Dickens’ "Pickwick Papers": “. . .as a simultaneous call for ‘Pickwick’ burst from his followers, that illustrious man slowly mounted into the Windsor chair, on which he had been previously seated, and addressed the club himself had founded. What a study for an artist did that exciting scene present! The eloquent Pickwick, with one hand gracefully concealed behind his coat tails, and the other waiving in the air, to assist his glowing declamation; his elevated position revealing those tights and gaiters. . ."
