More Kyd!

We're not quite done with Kyd yet!

Here are a couple more illustrations by Joseph Clayton Clarke, signed with his familiar "Kyd" soubriquet:

I don't know the source of these, but they're totally different takes on the characters from the ones that we had just seen.

And these are billed as from "Christmas Tales," not "The Christmas Books" like the last set!

Maybe from about 1920 and maybe from Tuck & Sons?

And there's this one that I know even less about:

For those keeping track (OK, maybe just me!), the subtitle at the bottom of this one reads "A Christmas Carol" rather than just "Christmas Carol" like on the earlier set!

Good stuff, to be sure, and the characters from "(A) Christmas Carol" are only the tip of the Dickens iceberg for Kyd.

You can find out more from the awesome The Victorian Web!

And dig that wacky sketch at the top of Charles Dickens conjuring up the Spirit of Christmas!
