Tom's Reverie. (1870s). Illustration by Fred Barnard for Dickens's Martin Chuzzlewit LIV), page 423. [This is a melancholy and stark contrast to the lively baroque complexity of Phiz's final illustration thirty years earlier. As in the letter- press, Tom touches the notes of his organ lightly; however. Barnard departs from Dickens's text by including the shadowy figures of Martin and Mary in the background. According to Barnard's interpretation, Tom never recovers from his unrequited love for Mary, but enjoys the love and companionship of his friends' children.] 9.3 x 13.7 cm.
