51755Perhaps the greatest of all British novelists of the Victorian era author of numerous iconic classics -- among them "The Pickwick Papers" "Oliver Twist" "Nicholas Nickleby" "A Christmas Carol" "David Copperfield" "Bleak House" "Little Dorrit" "A Tale of Two Cities" "Great Expectations" and more. On a 4½" X 2½" envelope bearing a red "One Penny" stamp at upper right Dickens addresses it in bold brown ink to "Mrs. Gordon / Lixmount / Edinburgh" signing his name at lower right. Very good. Minor age toning. This item is at center in an ornate 1" wood-and-gilt frame under glass overall dimensions 12" X 22" and double beige mat. The mat opening above features a 5½" X 7" sepia-tone well-known 1858 half-length photograph of Dickens at age 46 before a table holding up a book modern reproduction and below the document is a 4" X 2" brown metal plate engraved in gilt "CHARLES DICKENS / 1812-1870." The document has been free-floated within its mat opening and both mat openings include gold fillet. Lixmount refers to Lixmount House a mansion built in a fashionable district of Edinburgh in 1793. It once housed Eliza Jenkins at one time governess of the Brontë sisters but in 1803 a Gordon family became owners and various Gordons owned and lived in it for many years -- making the specific identity of this "Mrs. Gordon" a mystery. A handsome presentation appropriate to the era of its subject. unknown

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 humor and literary invention.
