As called for in Hatton & Cleaver plates in parts I through XII have page numbers; plates in parts XIII through XIX/XX have no page numbers It should be noted that plates 26 and 27 in part XII are 1st issue and therefore have no page number as explained in Hatton & Cleaver p. 63 and in Miller & Strange p. 45.

THE POSTHUMOUS PAPERS OF THE PICKWICK CLUB

1836145491836. Containing a Faithful Record of the Perambulations Perils Travels Adventures and Sporting Transactions of the Corresponding Members. Edited by "Boz." With Illustrations. 20-in-19 monthly serial parts. London: Chapman & Hall 1836-1837. Original light green pictorial wrappers. First Edition in the original 20-in-19 monthly serial parts issued from April 1836 through November 1837. This was Dickens's first novel and his first book to appear in monthly serial parts; the sketches that would become SKETCHES BY BOZ appeared first in periodicals then in two-plus-one volumes in 1836-1837 and finally once Chapman & Hall took over in serial parts in 1837-1839. PICKWICK in parts is extremely complex bibliographically mainly for two reasons both of which came to a head with the fourth part. Dickens at the time was essentially unknown even as "Boz" because all he had written were the above sketches not yet in book or serial form; in fact C&H decided to publish PICKWICK only because the great illustrator Robert Seymour was involved -- and merely engaged the unknown Dickens to write something to accompany the illustrations. Seymour provided four plates for the first part and had prepared three of four planned for the second part when he died suddenly by his own hand. C&H quickly engaged Robert Buss to take on the illustrating which he did with two plates for the third part; with the great Seymour no longer involved the publisher agreed to scale back the number of plates per part from four to two -- which also meant more writing and money for Dickens. But both Buss and C&H quickly acknowledged that Buss was not the right illustrator for PICKWICK and beginning with the fourth serial part the little-known Hablot K. Browne "Phiz" was engaged for the remainder of the book -- and for many Dickens novels thereafter. Meanwhile PICKWICK was not selling well. Only 1000 copies of the first part were produced and only about half of those sold so only 500 of the second part were produced. As C&H struggled to find an illustrator the third and fourth parts were not big sellers either perhaps dropping to only 300 copies or so. But in the fourth part the first to include "Phiz's" plates Dickens introduced the character of Sam Weller -- and the public loved him. The book's popularity soared with each subsequent part; people who had missed the early parts now wanted copies of them and people as late as 1838 wanted sets of the parts too. As a result the publisher was constantly having to print new copies of the parts especially of the first four for some of which "Phiz" designed new plates to replace the much-maligned two by Buss. Thus there are many issues of most of the parts and a "Prime Pickwick" a set with the first four parts in first state are legendarily scarce. All of that said this set is generally later-issue. Only Parts 9 10 14 15 16 17 18 and 19/20 are in first-state wrappers and only Parts 9 plus 12-through-19/20 have the preliminary "Pickwick Advertiser" ads later issues were generally published without time-sensitive ads. Part 3 has the replacement plates by "Phiz"; in general most of the plates in the second half are first-state while most in the first half are as usual second-state. Of the "Address" slips called for after the plates in seven parts this set has all but the first two -- as usual. Contact us for further details. As for general condition it is remarkably near-fine. There is very little edge-wear and only four parts 11 plus the last three appear to have deftly-repaired spines. The plates in Part 9 are slightly browned around the edges and have very minor foxing but otherwise the plates are unusually clean and sharp. A set of first-issue parts in this condition would easily bring $25000 and a "prime" set few are known to exist would be numerous multiples of that. In all the fact that just over half of the parts are later-issue reduces the price significantly for the collector who wants a good-looking PICKWICK in parts that costs less than a new car.

The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club

1837CD122London: Chapman & Hall 1837 Illustrations by Robert Seymour Robert William Buss and Hablot Knight Browne. First edition first printing three of the first issue points called for by Smith: "S. Veller" uncorrected on p. 342 "this friends" on p. 400 and "OF" imperfect on heading of p. 432. Contemporary full red polished calf with five raised bands and two spine labels in dark green spines lettered and beautifully decorated in gilt all edges gilt blue and red marbled endpapers. A beautiful copy with only some light scattered foxing and the usual toning to the plates early former ownership signature to second blank. An excellent and extremely bright copy in a fine binding. Smith I 3. The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club was originally published serially in twenty numbers bound in nineteen monthly installments from April 1836 - November 1837. This first edition was published shortly after on November 17 1837. The project was originally conceived by illustrator Robert Seymour who envisioned a series of humorous stories about the adventures of amateur Cockney sportsmen. Chapman and Hall employed Dickens to create a cohesive narrative that provided a background story for the illustrations. However the bold young writer purportedly wrote with little regard to the illustrations even making suggestions for their alterations at times much to Seymour's displeasure. After the second installment was completed Seymour committed suicide and was replaced in the Pickwick project by Robert Buss. However Dickens found Buss' work unfavorable and Hablot Knight Browne "Phiz" who would continue to illustrate many of Dickens' subsequent novels took over as the Pickwick illustrator. Smith comments on the complicated history of Pickwick's illustration: "The history of the creation of the plates is perhaps as complex as that of the printing of the text and different states of a plate and different plates for the same subject may vary from one bound copy to anotherseldom in fact are all of the plates located in copies in the original cloth or rebound ones" which he partially attributes to the lack of a list of illustrations. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine. London: Chapman & Hall hardcover books
