A portrait of Dickens at age 29, painted during his 1842 American trip by Boston artist Francis Alexander. It’s on loan to the UMass Lowell exhibit from the MFA where it hasn’t been seen in 30 years. Diana Archibald says it shows the young Dickens’ penchant for flashy dress, which inspired another part of the Lowell exhibit, “Dickens as Steampunk Muse.” (Courtesy Of Museum of Fine Arts Boston)
