Charles Dickens Museum buys collection which features Victorian author's handwritten excerpt from 'David Copperfield'
An early portrait of Charles Dickens by his aunt Janet Barrow, an early writing to a school friend, top, and his books 'Child History of England' are seen in an exhibit in the nursery room in Charles Dickens' home, part of the Charles Dickens Museum in London. For years, the four-story brick row house where the author lived with his young family was a dusty and slightly neglected museum, a mecca for Dickens scholars but overlooked by visitors. A $4.
The Charles Dickens Museum in London has bought a huge collection of objects belonging to the Victorian novelist, including a delicate chalk and pastel portrait by Samuel Laurence. Among more than 300 items are 144 letters, offering a window into the author's life through his famously vivid prose. "This is a treasure trove – a true once-in-a-lifetime moment for the museum," said Cindy Sughrue, director of the Charles Dickens Museum.
