“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”
― Charles Dickens

The museum of Charles Dickens are very excited to be releasing the first of a new collection of colourised photographs of the great author, to mark his 150th anniversary of his death today. He is famous for writing the novella ‘A Christmas Carol’ as well as Oliver Twist’ and many other famous novels.

The image shows Charles Dickens in 1859, aged forty-seven, with a warm expression, looking directly at the camera.
