Description:Excerpt from Glimpses of Gotham and City Characters Gavarni and Dickens did with pencil and pen for the two great cities of the Old World, he performed for the metropolis of the New. His works constitute a gallery of word pictures which paint New York as it had never been painted before. Beaming with light, sombre with shadow, merry in the May sunshine, shud dering in the February sleet, the varying phases of its teeming life, waking and sleeping, fair and foul, from cellar to garret, from boudoir to brothel, move by in a panorama vivid in local color, strong and symmetrie cal in form, instinct with the vitality which grows only under the artist hand. Few nooks and crannies of either the town or the ways and doings of its people, escaped the busy chronicler. During the past three years his department in the national police gazette and the third column of the front page of the Evening Telegram became the medium through which the general public found daily and weekly introduction to itself. That they did not object to the way in which the master of ceremonies performed his work, the popularity of the sketches proved. It was not, however, till death rang down the curtain, that the world at large knew anything of the man whose pen had procured them so many pleasant hours, and even then it was only through brief and necessarily more or less incorrect obituaries in the daily press. In consideration of this fact, nothing could be more appropriate as an introduction to this little volume than the story of its creator's life.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
