Four hand coloured plates and three black and white line steel engravings by Leech. Attractive checkered red and black endpapers. VERY SCARCE FIRST EDITION. For the first time and also the last time Dickens decided to print not only the title-page but also the etchings in colour. "A Christmas Carol" is one of the "greatest Christmas books ever written". It was issued just before Christmas 1843 in an edition of 6000 copies. Up to Jan.3.1844 two of the three thousand copies of the second and third editions were sold. Of the first edition there are 3 different issues: Red & blue title-page dated 1843 / red & green title-page dated 1844/ and a few copies are said to exist with the red & blue title-page and the later date. The real first edition 1st.issue is the red and blue title-page printing of "Stave I" instead of Stave One. Written by Dickens during a period when the British were exploring and re-evaluating past Christmas traditions including carols and newer customs such as Christmas cards and Christmas trees. He was influenced by the experiences of his own youth and by the Christmas stories of other authors including Washington Irving. The novella captured the mid-Victorian revival of the Christmas holiday. Dickens acknowledged the influence of the modern Western observance of Christmas and in turn his novella would go on to later influence several aspects of Christmas traditions including family gatherings seasonal food and drink dancing games and a festive generosity of spirit.
