#dolly varden

[dailymothanon]

Wasn’t sure what I was feeling to draw, so here’s just an ol’ Dolly Varden 🐟 I like that name for them. Fish are so cool… look at the way they’re shaped. Is that not fascinating?? Anyways, fishing is real fun, even if all I really do is catch & release 😌 who’s ready for fat bear week this year?

I was expecting it to be a Dolly Parton reference, but instead, I get a historical DRAMA.

The fifth of several posts about illustrations (of the 1780 section) of Charles Dickens's Barnaby Rudge.

London Pubs - The Boot and The Black Lion

Characters featured: Hugh, Ned Dennis, Sim Tappertit, Barnaby Rudge, Grip, Joe Willet, John Willet, Dolly Varden, various protestants, various soldiers

Chapters featured: 38, 39, 52, 72, 78

Illustrators featured: Phiz (Hablot Knight Browne), George Cattermole, Fred Barnard, Harry Furniss,

The Boot, fields to rear of the Foundling Hospital, London

By George Cattermole (1841), possibly for chapter 52. We see the exterior of The Boot, "in a manner the head-quarters of the rioters".

By Phiz (1841) for chapter 38, when Ned Dennis takes Hugh to The Boot following his enrollment in the Great Protestant Association.

Before putting his lips to the liquor which was brought for them, Dennis drank in a loud voice the health of Lord George Gordon, President of the Great Protestant Association; which toast Hugh pledged likewise, with corresponding enthusiasm. A fiddler who was present, and who appeared to act as the appointed minstrel of the company, forthwith struck up a Scotch reel; and that in tones so invigorating, that Hugh and his friend (who had both been drinking before) rose from their seats as by previous concert, and, to the great admiration of the assembled guests, performed an extemporaneous No-Popery Dance.

I don't have much to say about this illustration other than that I love the expression on Hugh's dog's face. He looks a bit concerned.

Top: Phiz (1841); Bottom Left: Phiz (1841); Bottom Right: Harry Furniss (1910); all for chapter 39. More revelry and bigotry at The Boot.

The Stable of the Boot

By Fred Barnard (1874) for chapter 52.

The Riots have now begun, and Hugh has assigned Barnaby sentry duty outside the stable of The Boot, in order to keep him occupied while the rest of the rioters plan and execute their attack on the Warren, where Barnaby's old friends and benefactors, the Haredales, live.

I really like this quiet moment between Barnaby and Grip. I also like that Grip is actually Raven size. In some illustrations, he's barely big enough to be a crow...

By Phiz (1841) for chapter 57, where Barnaby is attacked and taken.

Again there was a dead silence, and again the same voice called upon him to deliver himself up. Next moment he was back in the stable, dealing blows about him like a madman. Two of the men lay stretched at his feet: the one he had marked, dropped first—he had a thought for that, even in the hot blood and hurry of the struggle. Another blow—another! Down, mastered, wounded in the breast by a heavy blow from the butt-end of a gun (he saw the weapon in the act of falling)—breathless—and a prisoner.

The Black Lion, Whitechapel, London

Left: Furniss (1910) possibly for chapter 72 when we (and John Willet) are told where Joe has been for the last five years and how he lost his arm; Right: Fred Barnard for chapter 72 when Joe and Dolly talk, the same night that Dolly and Emma were rescued.

Left: Phiz (1841); Right: Furniss (1910); both for chapter 78 when Joe and Dolly admit their feelings for each other and try to speak to John Willet about it.
