Colour postcard of an illustration of Sampson Brass by Joseph Clayton Clark (a.k.a. Kyd) "Characters from Charles Dickens. Sampson Brass (Old Curiosity Shop - Chap. xi.) 'He had a cringing manner, but a very harsh voice, and his blandest smiles were so extremely forbidding, that to have had his company under the least repulsive circumstances, one would have wished him to be out of temper that he might only scowl.'" Early 1900s
