This morning I posted https://derrickjknight.com/2022/01/15/a-knights-tale-92-violence/
After lunch I read more of “Great Expectations” and scanned more of Charles Keeping’s inimitable illustrations.
‘It is a most miserable thing to be ashamed of home’
‘Joe and Orlick went at one another, like two giants’
‘Biddy turned her face suddenly towards mine’
‘Mr Trabb’s boy was the most audacious boy in all that countryside’
‘Barnard’s Inn’
Our dinner this evening consisted of well-cooked roast beef, potatoes, and parsnips; tender cabbage; crunchy carrots, crisp Yorkshire pudding; and meaty gravy, with which Jackie drank Carlsberg and I finished the Faugères.
Delightful illustrations as always.
Thanks very much, Anne
Sounds like you had a relaxing day and your Sunday lunch was fifteen hours early.
Our supper will be a Chinese takeaway which expected at seven o’clock, in around five minutes time.
Thanks very much, Sue. Enjoy your Chinese
It was lovely thank you and enjoyed with Campo Viejo Rioja.
Charles Keeping’s illustrations are well done, as always. He is very good at depicting emotion in those drawings.
So true, Lavinia. Thank you very much
I can’t wait to get into my new copy of Dickens’ 3 novels, it does not have these sketches. I’m thinking of printing some of them out and including in the book.
What a splendid idea, GP. Thanks very much
I love Mr. Trabb’s boy raising a whole lot of dust with his scraggly little broom.
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Sounds like a quiet day culminating in another wonderful meal. 🍷🍷🍷😇
Yep. Thanks very much, Pat
The illustrations are breathtakingly good.
I’m pleased you think so, too, Gary. Thanks very much
Yes, wonderful illustrations. Full of energy.
Thank you so much, Laurie
I don’t know Faugéres – is it a white?
This is a red. New to me. They may also have a white. Thanks a lot, Jan
Love the illustrations, Derrick. Thanks for sharing!
Much appreciated, Jill
I so admire Mr. Keeping’s attention to detail and the power of suggestion in his lines. I hope the rest of your weekend goes well.
Thanks very much, JoAnna
Those are truly powerful illustrations by Charles Keeping. We are grateful for the representation.
Thank you very much, Uma
The details in Mr. Keeping’s building illustrations are fabulous! I love perusing them slowly.
And you know I love the faces, expressions, clothing, movement, etc., in his other drawings. 🙂
(((HUGS))) 🙂
Thank you so much, Carolyn X
Is it just me, or do they have a slightly different style to the previous ones you have shown us?
Well spotted, John. I think so, too. These were among the first
Interesting that these were among the first. I love how the “To Let” stands out in Barnard’s Inn.
Yes – that is such a fine detail, Merril. Thanks very much
You’re welcome.
The illustrations presented are really superb. Warm regards.
Thanks very much, Harbans
My pleasure Derrick sir. Warm regards.
Those illustrations are so very clear and each time something new. It is interesting that your selection referred to the two boys fighting while the other post was about your attack by the person at work
So it was, John. Thanks very much
Jackie drank Carlsberg? Are you out of Hoegaarden?
Exactly, Andrew 🙂 These are Christmas leftovers. Thanks a lot
Amazing illustrations. Unbelievable detail.
Thank you very much, Eugi
I have enjoyed Mr Keeping’s exceptional skill of expressing emotions by using his trademark flowing lines, as well as the intricate details of Barnard Inn.
Thank you very much, Dolly
You are most welcome, Derrick.
It is always pleasant to read with such good illustrations 😉
Much appreciated, Ribana
I am especially drawn to that audacious boy. How about you?
Yep. Thanks a lot, Jan X
