"Oliver Asking for More" is a renowned illustration by George Cruikshank, created for the first edition of Charles Dickens's novel "Oliver Twist," which was serialized from 1837 to 1839. Cruikshank, an English artist and caricaturist, was one of the leading illustrators of his time and played a significant role in bringing the characters and scenes of Dickens's works to life through his vivid and expressive imagery.

The illustration captures one of the most iconic moments in English literature, where the protagonist, Oliver Twist, a young orphan living in a workhouse, dares to ask for a second helping of gruel. This act of defiance against the oppressive conditions of the workhouse becomes a pivotal point in the novel, symbolizing the struggle against inhumane treatment and social injustice.

Cruikshank's depiction of this scene is particularly notable for its emotional impact and the way it conveys the power dynamics at play. The image shows the diminutive Oliver, bowl in hand, standing before the imposing figure of Mr. Bumble, the workhouse beadle, who is depicted with a look of shock and outrage. The illustration not only captures the essence of the characters but also serves to enhance the reader's understanding of the societal critique inherent in Dickens's narrative.

As an integral part of the first edition of "Oliver Twist," Cruikshank's illustration has been widely reproduced and remains a significant piece of visual culture associated with Dickensian literature. It exemplifies the power of illustration to complement and enrich the experience of reading, and it continues to resonate with audiences as a representation of courage and the human spirit in the face of adversity.
