Scene from the new drama of "Martin Chuzzlewit" at the Lyceum Theatre, 1844. Production of Charles Dickens' novel "Martin Chuzzlewit" on the London stage. 'Pecksniff and Tom Pinch are admirably personated by Messrs. F. Mathews and Meadows. Mary Graham is rendered still more interesting by Miss Fortescue's representation of her, and Master Bailey, the Boots at Mrs. Todgers' boarding-house, is irresistibly impudent and droll as performed by Mrs. Keeley. Keeley, himself, was immense in the part of Old Mother Gamp, the monthly nurse'. From "Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I.
