About Bob Cratchit went down a slide on Cornhill

The artwork titled “Bob Cratchit went down a slide on Cornhill” is an illustration by Arthur Rackham, created within the art movement known as Art Nouveau (Modern). It is part of the illustration series for the classic novella “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens.

In this illustration, a lively Victorian street scene is depicted, filled with joy and movement. Dominating the scene is Bob Cratchit, caught mid-slide with a spirited expression, as he interacts with a group of people. The gas lamps and architectural elements provide a nostalgic ambiance, whilst the choice of color and delicate line work characteristic of Rackham’s style, enrich the festive and slightly whimsical atmosphere of the moment. The characters’ attire and the expressions they wear are intricately detailed, capturing the essence of Dickens’ beloved tale.
