A set of six Coalport Kingsware cabinet plates, each measuring approx. 9-1/8" in diameter, with scalloped edges and foliate relief designs around the rim, each with a transfer and hand decorated image in the center of different characters from works by Charles Dickens, including Bill Sikes, Captain Cuttle, Mr. Pickwick, Little Nell, Mr. Micawber, and Mr. Peggotty. Each plate is marked on the underside. The images were originally created by Frederick Barnard (1846-1896).

He is known primarily for his illustrations of Charles Dickens' characters, many of them published by Harper's.
