The binding strong and handsome with hinges firm and gutters intact. Some very light rubbing on hinges. Ends of spines a little darkened looks to have been slightly touched up at some point. Internally a few light spots to a handful of pages and the illustrations as good as we have seen. It remains largely bright throughout. Overall still a very good copy of an extremely scarce and popular book. 167p.p plus the publisher’s double-sided advertisement leaf. Four hand coloured plates and three black and white line steel engravings by Leech. Attractive checkered red and black endpapers. VERY SCARCE FIRST EDITION. For the first time and also the last time Dickens decided to print not only the title-page but also the etchings in colour. "A Christmas Carol" is one of the "greatest Christmas books ever written". It was issued just before Christmas 1843 in an edition of 6000 copies. Up to Jan.3.1844 two of the three thousand copies of the second and third editions were sold. Of the first edition there are 3 different issues: Red & blue title-page dated 1843 / red & green title-page dated 1844/ and a few copies are said to exist with the red & blue title-page and the later date. The real first edition 1st.issue is the red and blue title-page printing of "Stave I" instead of Stave One. Written by Dickens during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions including carols and newer customs such as Christmas cards and Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors including Washington Irving. The novella captured the mid-Victorian revival of the Christmas holiday. Dickens acknowledged the influence of the modern Western observance of Christmas and in turn his novella would go on to later influence several aspects of Christmas traditions including family gatherings seasonal food and drink dancing games and a festive generosity of spirit.

COSWAY-STYLE BINDING - DICKENS, CharlesBiblio.com

The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club.

1837149754London: Chapman and Hall 1837. First edition in book form presented in an attractive Cosway-style binding with miniature portrait of the author First edition in an extremely attractive Cosway-style binding featuring an oval miniature portrait of Dickens aged 27 after the painting by Daniel Maclise. All plates are present and in their early states with page numbers as called for but with no titles or imprints. Two plates by R. W. Buss were suppressed and the replacement illustrations by H. K. Browne "Phiz" are present in this copy. The Pickwick Papers Charles Dickens's first novel transformed the obscure journalist into England's most famous writer within months. The first monthly instalment was issued in an edition of 1000 copies in April 1836. The work became a publishing sensation after the introduction of Sam Weller in chapter 10 the fourth instalment issued in July 1836 after which the publishers reprinted the earlier instalments so that readers could catch up. By the time the book publication was issued in November 1837 many textual corrections had been made. Booksellers often list numerous and confusing text points that might conceivably apply to a perfect set of Pickwick Papers as originally issued in parts but all these points could never be found together in the issues in book form. The serial was originally intended to be primarily a vehicle for the cartoons of Robert Seymour until he died by suicide after the first number was published. Robert William Buss then took over but he was inexperienced in steel engraving and had to be replaced. The final choice Hablot Knight Browne "Phiz" was to be Dickens's chosen collaborator for the next two decades. Octavo 210 x 122 mm. Etched vignette title page frontispiece 41 plates by Robert Seymour and H. K. Browne. Early 20th-century green full morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe for Charles J. Sawyer spine elaborately gilt in six compartments covers with gilt borders front cover with circular red morocco onlay with Dickens's monogram in gilt gauffered edges gilt red morocco doublures with elaborate gilt dentelles front doublure in Cosway-style with central oval miniature portrait of Dickens after Maclise under glass and framed in brass watered silk endpapers gilt-stamped facsimile of Dickens's signature to front free endpaper. Housed in a custom green cloth folding box. A remarkably clean and fine example with some light foxing to frontispiece and etched vignette title page as usual some cockling to paper lining of free endpapers and bound without half-title.

With a book which gave to the world such characters as Betsy Trotwood Micawber the Pegottys and Mr. Dickâ€¦. it would be strange if it had been otherwiseâ€ Eckel 77. â€œDickens and Browne are the most celebrated author-artist team in the history of English book illustrationâ€ and Copperfield was their â€œmost popular successâ€ Hodnett 111-12.

The works of Charles Dickens 1812–1870 represent a cornerstone of nineteenth-century English literature notable for their vivid social realism moral urgency and deep psychological insight. Emerging during the height of the Industrial Revolution Dickens’s novels—such as Oliver Twist 1837–39 David Copperfield 1850 Bleak House 1853 and Great Expectations 1861—exposed the profound inequalities of Victorian society blending humor and sentiment with acute social critique. His fiction frequently addressed themes of poverty class mobility and institutional corruption often dramatizing the struggles of the urban poor against the indifference of bureaucratic systems. Dickens’s mastery of serial publication fostered an unprecedented relationship with his readership shaping both public morality and the development of the modern novel. Stylistically his works are marked by richly drawn characters melodramatic plots and a distinctive prose rhythm that balances satire with compassion. Across his oeuvre Dickens advanced the novel as a vehicle for both entertainment and reform transforming popular fiction into a powerful medium for social conscience and moral introspection.

Oliver Twist; or the Parish Boy's Progress. By "Boz". In Three Volumes

18381264301838. London: Richard Bentley 1838. 3 vols. small 8vo i-iv 1 2-331 332; i-iv 1 2-307 308; iii-iv 1 2-315 316 pp. 24 engraved illustrations by George Cruikshank 1 as frontispiece to each volume. With half-titles in vols. I and II with the advertisement leaf at beginning of vol. III the 4 pages advertisements at end of vol. I but without the single-leaf list of illustrations in vol. I found in some copies only. Neat repairs to the cloth first signature in vol. 1 strengthened boards slightly bumped and spotted but generally a very good copy with bookplates in all three volumes. § First edition in original cloth with the title page credited to "Boz" rather than Dickens and with the Fireside plate as the final plate in volume three. The first edition of Oliver Twist in original cloth is a cornerstone in any Dickens collection. Publication of the serial in Bentley's Miscellany began in 1837 and "when Bentley decided to publish Oliver Twist in book form before its completion in his periodical Cruikshank was forced to complete the last few plates in haste. Dickens did not review them until the eve of publication and objected to the "Fireside" plate.and also disliked having "Boz" on the titlepage. He voiced these objections prior to the publication and the plate and the titlepage were changed between November 9 and 16" Smith 34. Smith I 4. Eckel pp. 59-62. Provenance: Each volume with the bookplates of the Albert Henry Wiggen 1868-1951 noted book collector and "the most colorful and attractive figure in the commercial banking world" the only member of the Federal Reserve Bank to have a law written specifically against his actions the "Wiggin Provision". On the upside he was also a noted book and print collector and a major donor to the Boston Public Library the New York Public Library and the Baltimore Museum of Art. This book passed to his son-in-law Lynde Selden whose two bookplates are also found in two of the three volumes. unknown

Sketches by Boz

18396243London: Chapman and Hall 1839. Fine. First book form edition of the first and second series complete in one volume with Chapman and Hall revised texts and re-engraved plates used in their Parts issue. Octavo 8 1/8 x 5 1/4 inches; 208 x 133 mm. iii-viiviii 1-34-526. Forty inserted steel engravings. Extra-illustrated by the insertion of a duplicate suite of the original engravings expertly hand-colored. Bound by Bayntun Rivière Bath ca. 1955 stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-in in full wine red crushed levant morocco over beveled boards. Covers triple-ruled in gilt front cover with an elaborate central gilt floral and thistle design surrounding a fine hand-painted portrait miniature 2 3/4 x 2 inches; 70 x 51 mm. of a young Charles Dickens set under glass. Spine with five raised bands elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments. Decorative gilt board-edges wide elaborate gilt turn-ins marbled liners and endleaves all edges gilt. Housed in the original felt-lined red cloth slipcase spine with two black morocco labels lettered in gilt. "This collection of short pieces contains the earliest of Dickens's work. It is undoubtedly the most valuable from the antiquarian's point of view containing references and descriptions of life in the 30's to be found nowhere else" Hayward. Sketches by Boz contains stories and vignettes about daily life in London that Dickens first published in various newspapers and other periodicals between 1833 and 1836. The book is divided into four sections: "Our Parish" "Scenes" "Characters" and "Tales." A classic example of Dickensian observation. A total of forty plates were drawn and etched by George Cruikshank for this octavo edition of which twenty-seven are the original designs as they appeared in the First and Second Series of the Sketches published in volume form 1836-37; these however were enlarged in size to match an additional thirteen etchings. "When Chapman and Hall obtained the copyright of Sketches in 1837 they published all of them in twenty monthly parts from November 1837 through June 1839. Cruikshank designed a cover enlarged the plates except 'The Free and Easy' which was discarded and created 13 new illustrations for these monthly parts. In may 1839 Chapman and Hall published these parts complete in one volume with all 40 of Cruikshank's illustrations" Smith. George Bayntun 1873-1940 was the founder of Bayntun Bindery 1894 dedicated to using traditional hand-crafted techniques and high-quality materials. "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" Princeton. Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. Although named after the English miniaturist Richard Cosway 1742-1821 the desirable "Cosway Binding" with its jewel-like portrait miniature set into a fine binding was first developed at the turn of the century by J.H. Stonehouse director of London's Henry Sotheran Booksellers. Their miniatures were painstakingly crafted by the talented painter Miss C. B. Currie 1849-1940. As the style grew in popularity other publishing houses quickly began to reproduce this technique-each developing their own desirable take on the aesthetic-referred to as "Cosway style." Smith I: 2 note 4; Gimbel A7; Hatton and Cleaver cf. pp. 91-128. Fine. Chapman and Hall unknown

The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby Containing a Faithful Account of the Fortunes Misfortunes Uprisings Downfallings and Complete Career of the Nickleby Family In Original Parts

183889029London: Chapman and Hall April 1838-October 1839. First Edition First Printing with first issue points as called for. 20 parts in 19. 23cm. Original powder blue illustrated paper wraps. 40 plates by "Phiz" as issued with twelve plates either lightly foxed or toned to some degree usually confined to the exposed margins. All parts strong and tight; soiling to the covers of part I with some light chipping to the fore-edge of the front wrap and a small corner of loss; small archival repairs to the rear wrap of part II lower front corner of part IV and spine of part VI soiling and repair to part X small repair to part XII with sections clipped from two of the ad inserts repair to spine of part XVI and the spine of the XIX/XX double issue; all other parts clean inside and out strong and very good or better. A handsome set of the first appearance of Nicholas Nickleby housed in a tailor made chemise and morocco spined solander box. From a bibliographical standpoint the set conforms largely with Hatton & Cleaver; the first issue points are present as called for the Amesbury Patent Support fold-out is present all five of the "Hill's Wafers" samples being present in good order and with the publisher's imprints being where required on the plates. Departures from Hatton & Cleaver's "perfect" collation as follows: in Part I the "Nickleby Advertiser" consists of only 6 pages rather than 12; Part IV the "Poor Man's Pill" ad insert is lacking; from Parts VII & VIII the Tyas "Heads of The People" advertisement slip is also absent; the Charles Tilt advert is absent from Part XI. Given the frenzy of activity and breakneck pace of publication a little non-conformity is perhaps to be expected. A handsome example of Dickens' third novel to be published in parts containing not only the complete story but also offering the most complete vision of contemporary London provided by a blizzard of ephemera encompassing everything from cheap tea gold pocket watches and tickets overseas to commentary on current affairs upcoming publications and a complete cure for ringworm. Nickleby is the Dickens novel that opens the Victorian Age with the first two parts appearing in the weeks preceding Queen Victoria's coronation and the remainder spanning the first year of her reign with changes and developments necessarily reflected in the progress of the work in parts. Scarce thus. Chapman and Hall unknown
