Little Dorrit was originally published between 1855 and 1857, and is a work of satire on the shortcomings of the government and society of the period.
The text:
"Dit was een gevangenis, mijnheer,
Een strafgevangenis? ...... Kon iedereen hier naar binnen?
Iedereen kon naar binnen, zei de man nadrukkelijk
Maar niet iedereen kon weer naar buiten! "
and my own translation:
"This was a prison, sir,
A convict prison? ..... Could everyone get in here?
Everyone could get in here, the man emphasized
But not everyone could get out!"

It is not too often that one sees a B&W mural... but it works for me.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenI admit, I've only seen the movie and never read the book, but I do like the story. This is a nice mural and the black and white seems appropriate.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenSeveral Dickens murals? I hope you'll show us more. Thanks to the BBC TV production, I know the story of Little Dorrit. Otherwise, I'd be ignorant, by dickens. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
