Ikey Solomon information


Ikey Solomon as printed from a drawing by the Lambeth Police

Isaac "Ikey" Solomon (1787 – 1850)[1] was a British criminal who acted as a receiver of stolen property. His well-publicised crimes, escape from arrest, recapture and trial led to his transportation to the Australian penal colony of Van Diemen's Land (now known as Tasmania).

He is widely regarded as the model for the character Fagin in Charles Dickens' novel Oliver Twist.
