A Gilt Bronze Low Relief of Charles Dickens.

His long career saw fluctuations in the reception and sales of individual novels but none of them was negligible or uncharacteristic or disregarded. Even though he is now admired for aspects and phases of his work that were given less weight by his contemporaries, his popularity has never ceased.
