A beautiful copy with only some light scattered foxing and the usual toning to the plates early former ownership signature to second blank. An excellent and extremely bright copy in a fine binding. Smith I 3. The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club was originally published serially in twenty numbers bound in nineteen monthly installments from April 1836 - November 1837. This first edition was published shortly after on November 17 1837. The project was originally conceived by illustrator Robert Seymour who envisioned a series of humorous stories about the adventures of amateur Cockney sportsmen. Chapman and Hall employed Dickens to create a cohesive narrative that provided a background story for the illustrations. However the bold young writer purportedly wrote with little regard to the illustrations even making suggestions for their alterations at times much to Seymour's displeasure. After the second installment was completed Seymour committed suicide and was replaced in the Pickwick project by Robert Buss. However Dickens found Buss' work unfavorable and Hablot Knight Browne "Phiz" who would continue to illustrate many of Dickens' subsequent novels took over as the Pickwick illustrator. Smith comments on the complicated history of Pickwick's illustration: "The history of the creation of the plates is perhaps as complex as that of the printing of the text and different states of a plate and different plates for the same subject may vary from one bound copy to another seldom in fact are all of the plates located in copies in the original cloth or rebound ones" which he partially attributes to the lack of a list of illustrations. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine. London: Chapman & Hall hardcover books
1858119937London: Chapman and Hall and Bradbury Evans 1858. Rare finely bound Library Edition of Dickens' first novel and one of his greatest works. Octavo two volumes bound in three quarter morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with gilt titles and elaborate gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands marbled endpapers pictorial title pages. In very good condition. Housed in the binder's original slipcases. With the original invoice on Sangorski & Sutcliffe's letterhead dated January 3rd 1934 laid in. Few first novels have created as much popular excitement as The Pickwick Papers - a comic masterpiece that catapulted its twenty-four-year-old author to immediate fame. Readers were captivated by the adventures of the poet Snodgrass the lover Tupman the sportsman Winkle and above all by that quintessentially English Quixote Mr Pickwick and his cockney Sancho Panza Sam Weller. From the hallowed turf of Dingley Dell Cricket Club to the unholy fracas of the Eatanswill election via the Fleet debtor's prison characters and incidents sprang to life from Dickens's pen to form an enduringly popular work of ebullient humour and literary invention.
