Illustrated with photographs from The Liebler Company's Centenary Celebration production of J. Comyn Carr's Adaptation of the Novel first acted by a special cast at the New Amsterdam Theatre New York City February 26 1912. "Oliver Twist subtitled The Parish Boy's Progress is the second novel by English author Charles Dickens published by Richard Bentley in 1838. The story is about an orphan Oliver Twist who endures a miserable existence in a workhouse and then is placed with an undertaker. He escapes and travels to London where he meets the Artful Dodger leader of a gang of juvenile pickpockets. Naively unaware of their unlawful activities Oliver is led to the lair of their elderly criminal trainer Fagin. Oliver Twist is notable for Dickens' unromantic portrayal of criminals and their sordid lives.1 The book exposed the cruel treatment of many a waif-child in London which increased international concern in what is sometimes known as "The Great London Waif Crisis": the large number of orphans in London in the Dickens era. The book's subtitle The Parish Boy's Progress alludes to Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress and also to a pair of popular 18th-century caricature series by William Hogarth A Rake's Progress and A Harlot's Progress.2 An early example of the social novel the book calls the public's attention to various contemporary evils including child labour the recruitment of children as criminals and the presence of street children. Dickens mocks the hypocrisies of his time by surrounding the novel's serious themes with sarcasm and dark humour. The novel may have been inspired by the story of Robert Blincoe an orphan whose account of hardships as a child labourer in a cotton mill was widely read in the 1830s. It is likely that Dickens's own early youth as a child labourer contributed to the story's development.3 Oliver Twist has been the subject of numerous film and television adaptations and is the basis for a highly successful musical play and the multiple Academy Award winning 1968 motion picture made from it.

1838177655Philadelphia: Carey Lea and Blanchard 1838. xii 388p. engraved plates as called for inserted yellow stock two engraved title pages versions by each artist and printed title leaf with presswork credit verso; first American illustrated edition cased into modern half calf boards over homemade marbling. Textblock was printed on pulpy soft paperstock and is splotched with foxing throughout two original blanks fore and aft remain these adhered to marbled endsheets.

There are also two torn leaves see 95/96 partly repaired and gutter of 386-87 where there is a gaping but not-at-risk crack.
