Black-and-white photographs of Charles Dickens have been colourised showing the famous novelist with tanned skin and an 'ostentatious' waistcoat

"You get to see him as more of a person instead of this almost fictional character."

The portraits will go on display in an exhibition at the Charles Dickens Museum - the London home in Doughty Street where Dickens moved to in 1837 and wrote Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby - when the easing of lockdown restrictions make it possible.Museum curator, Frankie Kubicki, said:"We knew that Dickens loved bright colours, that he had a real passion for waistcoats and all these sort of amazing gaudy things.

"There's a real sparkle of vitality, which is lost in the black and white, and a glint in his eyes and a kind of very playful nature, which is really heightened by the colour."

New photo reveals 'tanned and healthy' DickensColour has been digitally added to eight photos to show what the novelist would have looked like. His beard seems to have more grey in the original image though. How racist. Over rated author IMO. Tried reading great expectations and only got 100 pages in. Switched to War and Peace and Dickens can't even come close to the great Russian authors. His Christmas Story is good though.
