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.

1861135109London: Chapman and Hall 1861. First edition in book form of Dickens' classic collection of personal vignettes. Octavo bound in full polished calf by Tout morocco spine labels lettered in gilt elaborate gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands gilt turn-ins and inner dentelles marbled endpapers ribbon bound in all edges gilt. In near fine condition bookplate to the pastedown. An attractive example. The literary sketches contained in The Uncommercial Traveller first appeared in serial form in Dickens' journal All the Year Round. The persona of the 'uncommercial traveller' echoed Dickens' personal sentiments as a writer who liked to travel not only as a tourist but also to research and report what he found visiting Europe American and cities and towns throughout Great Britain. Dickens did not seem content to rest late in his career when he had attained wealth and comfort and continued travelling locally walking the streets of London in the mould of the flâneur a "gentleman stroller of city streets". He often suffered from insomnia and his night-time wanderings gave him an insight into some of the hidden aspects of Victorian London details of which he also incorporated into his novels.

Occasional dings to edges the spines gently and evenly faded to a softer brown and three or four volumes have very slight chips to spine heads; still a handsome set. Internally fine; appearing unread with absolutely no foxing or staining. Before ordering this set please advise us of any particular concerns regarding the condition of the books as both buyer and seller would likely begrudge the time and labor involved in a return. A full list of titles is avaliable upon request. A set with appealing provenance bearing the ownership signature in each volume of Helen E. Rockefeller and Virgil P. Kline with an inked dated of 1897. Kline was a high-ranking lawyer and adviser in the Rockefeller empire as well as a co-founder of the Cleveland Bar Association. Helen E. Rockefeller is most likely Helen Effie Rockefeller Bowler daughter of Franklin and Helen Elizabeth Rockefeller and niece of John D. Rockefeller. She would have been 18 years old at the time of this inscription and we suspect that the set may have been a graduation present from Kline. Chapman and Hall / J. B. Lippincott Co hardcover

Dickens eventually came round to the idea that an elegant edition could raise the stature of his writings. He faced a complication in that the rights to the works were divided between Chapman and Hall and Bradbury and Evans. Consequently the volumes contained the imprints of both publishers. With a dedication to Forster the Library Edition appeared in 22 volumes in 1858-9 at 7s 6d per volume. Titles included Pickwick Nickleby Chuzzlewit Old Curiosity Shop REPRINTED PIECES Barnaby Rudge Hard Times Sketches by Boz Oliver Twist Dombey Copperfield PICTURES FROM ITALY Bleak House Little Dorrit and Christmas Books. The only illustrations were the frontispieces. Between 1861 and 1874 this edition was reissued in 30 volumes with the addition of Tale of Two Cities Great Expectations Our Mutual Friend The Uncommercial Traveller A CHILDS HISTORY OF ENGLAND CHRISTMAS STORIES and Drood. The reissue contained illustrations-the frontispieces plus additional illustrations by artists such as Marcus STONE John LEECH and Clarkson STANFIELD-and came to be known as the Illustrated Library Edition.Recognizing the continuing potential for sales of Dickens's works Chapman and Hall in 1873 published a prospectus for the Second Illustrated Library Edition containing they contended all the works the novelist wished to preserve. Calling it the first well-printed issue with specially cast type and better paper than that used in previous editions this set was published in 30 volumes between 1873 and 1876 and sold at £15 for the set a high price for the time" Oxford Reader's Companion to Dickens pp. 205-206.<br /> <br /> Gimbel D72.
