- The Rev. and Mrs Palmer-Lovell with their daughters Georgina and Christina is undated and little is known about it, but what we do know is that Egg was a close friend of Dickens and it is quite likely that he was here putting what we now think of as the ‘Dickensian family’ into visual form. Despite the six paintings on the wall, the room is actually quite small and is presumably a first-floor drawing room in somewhere like Doughty Street.
