Literature:

Roger Boulet, Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith (1846-1923), Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Victoria, 1977, page 32, fig.21 for a photograph of the artist in a Dickens role.

Bell-Smith had a great interest in the writings of Charles Dickens (1812-1870) and he was very active in the Dickens’ Fellowship, Toronto Chapter. Similar works illustrating characters from Dickens’ tales were exhibited at Art Association of Montreal Spring Exhibitions in 1917 and 1918.
