“Oliver Twist and Mr. Bumble” (Oliver Twist). Raphael Tuck & Sons Oilette Postcard 3407 (ca. 1930). Art by Harold Copping

Dickens Characters.

Bumble is the cruel, pompous beadle – a minor official – of the parish that operates the workhouse and orphanage where the orphaned Oliver Twist was brought up. Bumble mistreats the residents in his care and becomes the symbol of Dickens’ distaste for the workhouse system. He marries Mrs. Corney and later is disgraced and becomes a resident in the same workhouse. Oliver, mistreated by Bumble (Quote: “Please, sir, I want some more”), is apprenticed to Sowerberry, the undertaker, and runs away to London where he falls in with Fagin and his band of pickpockets.

Artist Harold Copping (1863-1932) was a British illustrator of Biblical scenes. His 1910 book “The Copping Bible” illustrated by himself became a bestseller. His illustrations for non-religious books included a 1920 edition of “A Christmas Carol” and a 1924 edition of “Character Sketches from Boz” (pseudonym of Charles Dickens). He also illustrated the children’s books of Mary Angela Dickens based on the novels of her grandfather, Charles Dickens. These included “Children’s Stories from Dickens” (1911) and “Dickens Dream Children” (1926). [Source: Wikipedia]
