Happy Birthday, you old devil!

What a lovely Google Doodle to celebrate Charles Dickens’ 200th birthday!

I am not familiar with his works to the degree that I recognize all these characters. It reminds me of the following painting:

Dickens' Dream by Robert William Buss

What a tribute to the man that in his own time so many dozens of his imagined characters were recognizable to the general public. It’s easy to look at all of these caricatures of Victorian England and ignore the details that identify them individually. Which is exactly what I intend to do.

UPDATE: 12:15pm – One of my favorite bloggers (Minnesotastan) directed me to an interactive map of Dickensian London!
