41977Dinner given to Mr Charles Dickens on the occasion of His Departure for the United States Freemason's Hall Great Queen St Saturday November 2nd 1867 Seven o'clock." the tickets are priced at One Guinea each this one is numbered 39 4½" x 3" no place While he contemplated a second visit to the United States the outbreak of the Civil War in America in 1861 delayed his plans. On 9th November 1867 over two years after the war Dickens set sail from Liverpool for his second American reading tour. Landing in Boston he devoted the rest of the month to a round of dinners with such notables as Ralph Waldo Emerson Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and his American publisher James T. Fields. In early December the readings began. He performed 76 readings netting £19000 from December 1867 to April 1868. Dickens shuttled between Boston and New York where he gave 22 readings at Steinway Hall. Although he had started to suffer from what he called the "true American catarrh" he kept to a schedule that would have challenged a much younger man even managing to squeeze in some sleighing in Central Park. During his travels he saw a change in the people and the circumstances of America. His final appearance was at a banquet the American Press held in his honour at Delmonico's on 18th April when he promised never to denounce America again. By the end of the tour Dickens could hardly manage solid food subsisting on champagne and eggs beaten in sherry. On 23rd April he boarded the Cunard liner Russia to return to Britain barely escaping a federal tax lien against the proceeds of his lecture tour. unknown
21434Original artwork. 1900-1920. A suite of six original watercolour illustrations depicting characters from Charles Dickens' novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood 1870 with illustrated watercolour title and contents pages. Each portrait signed by the artist in red ink. The images printed on watermarked laid paper with untrimmed rough-cut edges. Condition is very good with toning to the left hand side of the title page. The watercolour portraits themselves remain clean fresh and bright.� An attractive suite of original watercolour illustrations depicting characters from Dickens' unfinished final novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood by the noted artist Joseph Clayton "Kyd" Clarke 1857-1937. The set includes Mr. Dick Datchery Durdles Deputy Mr. Tope Rev. Crisparkle and Mr. Grewgious. Kyd's first Dickens illustrations appeared in 1887 in Fleet Street Magazine. They achieved immediate popularity with two published collections appearing shortly after and numerous sets of postcards based on his Dickens drawings also released. Following this initial success Kyd earned his living creating sets of watercolour portraits such as these which found many eager buyers. Indeed as early as the 1890s his popular characterful sketches which drew significantly on the work of the original Dickens illustrators Hablot Knight Browne 'Phiz' and Robert Seymour were being sought by major Dickens collectors such as Thomas Wilson and Frederick Cosens. Significant collections of Kyd's work are now held by numerous major institutions including The British Museum the V&A the Charles Dickens Museum and the University of Texas.� Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
