Thank you for this!

I know that Cruikshank was the original illustrator of many of Dickens's novels, but I prefer the artwork of James Mahoney. As a point of comparison, the same scene by both artists:

1. "Oliver Rather Astonishes Noah", https://imgur.com/a/DWeblXT, as illustrated by James Mahoney.

2. "Oliver Plucks up a Spirit", https://www.charlesdickensillustration.org/oliver-twist?pgid..., as illustrated by George Cruikshank.

I scanned and vectorized all the artwork for "Oliver Twist" and typeset it at http://ahmadsoft.org/downloads/Oliver%20Twist,%20or,%20The%2... (warning, it's a large PDF due to the high resolution vector imagery), but then I started a company in 2020, and haven't had time to finish "Little Dorit", which, compared to "Oliver Twist", I was able to scan at a much higher resolution and get better quality.
