Antique Print - Charles Dickens' Novel Dombey and Son, Seashore Art, 1892 Book Page (AR-A545)
This antique print depicts Florence and Paul Dombey, characters from Charles Dickens' novel Dombey and Son, sitting on a beach by the sea.
The central figures are a woman and a young boy, identified as Florence and Paul Dombey, respectively. Florence is seated on the sand, while Paul is in a wheeled chair or carriage on the wet sand near the water's edge.
The scene takes place on a beach, with waves crashing in the background. A sailboat is visible further down the beach or out at sea.
This illustration, titled "What Are the Wild Waves Saying?", captures a poignant moment from the novel, highlighting Paul's connection to the sea and his close relationship with his sister Florence.
Also included is the tissue paper covering with a brief description of the scene.

There is some damage, aging to the bound side of the print. All prints are either wood engravings, etchings, photogravure, or typogravure.
