Podsnappery by Marcus Stone. Wood engraving by Dalziel. 9.3 cm high x 15.75 cm wide. Illustration for Our Mutual Friend, Chapter Eleven, "Podsnappery," Authentic edition, facing p. 112. [This part of the novel originally appeared in periodical form in August 1864.] Stone has chosen to illustrate the dinner dance rather than the dinner itself, perhaps to complement Dickens's text, which involves an effusive description of the epergne, the table, the silver wine-coolers, the pot-bellied silver salt-sellers, the big silver spoons and forks, the outward and visible signs of Podsnap's prosperous Englishness. Podsnap and the birthday girl, his daughter, are just left of centre, and the figures in the right foreground are presumably the Veneerings. The salon is large and richly decorated, with paintings, sculpture, candelabra, drapery, urns, and a grand piano. Consistently, as is appropriate to the novel's contemporary setting, the gentlemen wear high society evening dress tail-coats and the ladies hooped skirted, bare-shouldered gowns. As befits a social function with business overtones, the majority of the company is male; and, although it is designated a "dinner dance," nobody appears to be dancing. Small-talk is chief occupation of those assembled.
