The Pickwick Papers

This previous exhibition showcased a series of works by Anna Marongiu, a Sardinian artist who created 262 illustrations of The Pickwick Papers between 1928–1929. These rich artworks depict scenes from the novel that have rarely been illustrated, and present a new perspective of Dickens’s first novel. This exhibition was the first time they have been on display in the UK and celebrate the unique talent of Marongiu, whose own life was tragically cut short by a plane crash when she was just 34.
