1849145501849. the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery. With Illustrations by H.K. Browne. 20 monthly serial parts in 19. London: Bradbury & Evans 1849-1850. Original pictorial light blue-green wrappers. First Edition in the original serial parts issued monthly beginning in May 1849 and ending with a double number in November 1850; the same sheets were then issued in book form using the preliminaries supplied in the last part on 14 November 1850. COPPERFIELD was Dickens's most autobiographical novel written in the first person; along with OLIVER TWIST and A CHRISTMAS CAROL it remains one of his best-loved today. This set has all the proper wrappers with the exception that the wrappers of Part II are from another Part I; also the rear wrapper of Part VIII is actually from another Part XV but the original Part VIII rear wrapper is loosely included -- torn in half and then stitched together with thread as was done 120 years ago. All 19 parts include the proper "Copperfield Advertiser" preliminary ads although four parts have one or more "Advertiser" pages missing. Of all the various terminal ads this set lacks only three: "Lett's Diaries" in VIII as is often the case "Eliza Cook" in XVIII and part of "Cundall & Addey" in XIX/XX. Four of the announcement slips following the plates are lacking. All of the 40 plates by "Phiz" are of course present though about half have some darkening around the edges. Condition is generally very good with minor wrapper edge-wear and soil; the wrappers' spines of some parts are restored at the ends with paper of similar color; in the case of the first two parts and the last double-part the entire spine is so restored. Most of the parts have the same early penciled signature at the top of the front wrapper -- a plus. COPPERFIELD was issued with fewer copies than most of Dickens's other serials of the period such as BLEAK HOUSE and LITTLE DORRIT; as Eckel wrote of COPPERFIELD almost 90 years ago "Comparatively the printing was small and the parts were much read and roughly handled so it is that fine clean and unrepaired copies are difficult to procure." This is not a fine set but it is accordingly not priced in five figures. Eckel pp 77-78; Hatton & Cleaver pp 253-272; Podeschi/Gimbel A121; Carr B220. Housed in a cloth clamshell case. unknown books

Cosway bindings named for renowned 19th-century English miniaturist Richard Cosway were popularized if not invented in the early 1900s by the renowned London bookselling firm of Henry Sotheran. The earliest Cosway bindings were created by Miss C.B. Currie who faithfully imitated Cosway's detailed watercolor style of portraiture from designs by J.H. Stonehouse Sotheran's manager. These delicate miniature paintings often on ivory were set into the covers or doublures of richly-tooled bindings and protected by a thin pane of glass. Bradbury and Evans unknown books

A lovely copy of one of Dickens' best and his most autobiographical novel. <br/><br/>"David Copperfield has always been among Dickens' most popular novels and was his own 'favorite child.' The work is semi-autobiographical and although the title character differed from his creator in many ways Dickens used him to relate early personal experiences that had meant much to him -- his work in a factory his schooling and his emergence from parliamentary reporting into successful novel writing" Britannica. Like many of Dickens' novels David Copperfield uses an individual tracing his widening system of relationships as he moves through life to explore the interconnectedness of humans the way race gender and class can affect their paths and the degree to which we have free-will.
