As Christmas parties fill up December, here’s a Victorian take on a festive evening – Mr Fezziwig’s Ball from Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol’. This print by John Leech is from an 1844 edition of Dickens’ still popular Christmas ghost story (first published in 1843).
One of my favorite passages from the book, which features prominently and is received with great joy and amusement whenever I give my one man performance of A Christmas Carol. As Tiny Tim observed: “God bless us> Everyone”

Wonderful, would love to see the performance sometime!
