This print captures a pivotal moment from Charles Dickens' renowned novel, Nicholas Nickleby. The illustration, skillfully created by Browne, Hablot Knight (Phiz), depicts a scene of intense emotion and suspense. In this gripping image, we witness the powerful theme of recognition unfold. The central figures in the composition are Smike and Nicholas, two key characters whose lives intertwine throughout the story.

The Victorian era setting is beautifully depicted through the attention to detail in clothing and surroundings. This evokes a sense of authenticity that transports us back to Dickensian times.
