The text follows Paul Dombey Sr. who has high hopes for his sickly son Paul as a future business partner and neglects his healthy daughter Florence. Throughout the text Dickens explores the relationship between one's personal and professional lives as well as the relationship between parent and child. Considered the text that solidified his reputation as a renowned author Dombey and Son is regarded as Dickens' first artistically mature work with carefully plotted serial installments and a preplanned outline for the entire work. Dickens wrote this book in various locations including Switzerland England and France. Dombey and Son contains 40 illustrations by Browne published and signed under the pseudonym Phiz including two plates that were etched as well as drawn by the illustrator. Dombey and Son also marked a successful experiment in new illustration techniques; it contains the first published example of a "dark plate" appropriately titled "On the Dark Road" page 547 "which was created by a machine process that tinted the etched plate and heightened its black-and-white contrast." Additionally Dombey and Son is the first example of Browne's horizontal illustrations for Dickens' novels. He would continue to use both of these techniques in Dickens' next novel David Copperfield. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Hablot Knight Browne "Phiz".

1846133191846. a remarkably fine set Wholesale Retail and for Exportation. With Illustrations by H. K. Browne beginning with the 6th part: With Illustrations engraved on Wood by J. W. Orr from designs by H. K. Browne. New York: Wiley and Putnam beginning with the 18th part: John Wiley 1846-1848. Twenty monthly parts in nineteen in the original brownish-grey wrappers printed in black.<br/><br/> First American Edition in the original parts. The English parts ran from October 1846 through April 1848 and each Wiley & Putnam part was issued immediately after its English counterpart. As Wilkins observes "At the bottom of the first page of each number was printed 'The Illustrations for this Number will be given with the Next' the text probably being set in type as soon as the English number was received and printed at once without waiting for the engraving of the plates for that number so that the plates were always one number behind the text. The Phiz plates were redrawn and engraved on wood by J. W. Orr and it is remarkable how closely the spirit of the original etchings was reproduced in wood engravings." The Wiley & Putnam parts contain a total of 36 plates two in each part except for the first; not included were the four plates that accompanied the English 19/20th part because of the one-month lag in reproducing the engravings . Part I includes a title page and the final part includes the other preliminaries necessary to facilitate the binding of the parts into two volumes 38 plates are listed in these preliminary leaves: the final two were later available upon application to the publisher. Two other American publishers also issued DOMBEY in parts. Bradbury & Guild of Boston issued a very similar set of parts likewise with 36 plates running a month behind in wrappers that were exact facsimiles of the English ones. Priority between this issue and the Wiley & Putnam one is unknown as it probably was measured in hours not days. Lea & Blanchard of Philadelphia also issued parts but not as quickly: they waited for plates to be engraved so that all 40 could be included they advertised it as "the only edition which presents the plates accompanying the text to which they refer." This is A REMARKABLY FINE SET. Most of the parts are virtually flawless other than trifling wear at the very tips of the spine; Part I has a chip in its rear wrapper and Parts XV and XVII have minor wear at the spine but overall the condition of this set is amazing. The rarity of American Dickens in parts can hardly be over-emphasized; it is no exaggeration that one encounters hundreds of English sets in parts for every single American set of parts. Housed in a morocco-backed slipcase bearing the wrong date and inner chemise. Podeschi Yale A104; Wilkins p. 25. unknown books

Octavo original wrappers with 40 etchings by Halbot Knight Brown containing all advertisements as issued. In very good condition. Housed in a custom full morocco and chemise pull-off case. Scarce and desirable. Dombey and Son "was well received by its readers and is considered to be the first novel that reflects Dickens's artistic maturity. Dickens told his first biographer 'It was to do with Pride what its predecessor Martin Chuzzlewit has done with Selfishness" Schlicke 280. The work "has a sense of the numinous is more profoundly touched by the sense of last things than any of Dickens' previous novels. It is larger in conception so that human life is seen in terms of its beginning and its end so that grief and forgiveness become more powerful forces within it. Dickens is aware of its status as art and provides here a simulacrum of human life touched by majesty and purpose" Ackroyd 526. The original serials contain the first of Browne's "dark plates" "On the dark Road" in part 18 created by the engraver's lining machine and roulettes that tint the etched plate creating heightened contrast Johannsen Phiz 309.
