1850001761London: Chapman & Hall 1850. Dickens Charles. SKETCHES BY BOZ. Frontispiece by George Cruikshank. London: Chapman & Hall 1850. Original blind-stamped green publisher's cloth with spines elaborately decorated in gilt. First "Cheap" Edition actually volume 8 of the first and most important collected works of Dickens with a new 1pp introduction by Dickens and a specially commissioned new frontispiece. Begun in 1847 with writings already published Dickens added further titles to his "works" as he went along. Despite being called "cheap" -- these volumes are just as high quality in texture and ornamentation as his first editions; there are 18 titles in total we've never seen a complete set in fine original condition and individual volumes in collector's condition are scarce. NEAR FINE spine a trifle browned as almost always with this olive-green cloth slightly foxed minor wear to the extremities bright gilt and excellent eye appeal. It would hard to find a better example of this traditionally yet inexplicably undervalued volume from Dickens's carefully-designed newly prefaced and illustrated first collection of his works. First Edition Thus. Decorative Cloth. Near Fine. Illus. by George Cruikshank. Chapman & Hall Hardcover books

1837146181837. illustrative of Every-Day Life and Every-Day People. Being a Continuation of "Watkins Tottle and Other Sketches." Philadelphia: Carey Lea & Blanchard 1837. Original drab boards with rose cloth spine and printed label. First American Edition consisting of 1250 copies issued in February 1837. These are the twelve pieces that had been published in England two months earlier as "The Second Series" of SKETCHES BY BOZ. As is evident from this book's sub-title this Philadelphia firm had published the "First Series" of SKETCHES BY BOZ as WATKINS TOTTLE and Other Sketches nine months earlier. Later in 1837 Carey Lea & Blanchard reprinted this volume with the addition of "The Tuggs's at Ramsgate" and "The Pantomime of Life" under the title THE TUGGS'S AT RAMSGATE AND OTHER SKETCHES. This is a very good copy there is wear along the edges of the spine and the spine label is rubbed but wholly legible -- but this extremely fragile volume has held up very well for the past 180 years; the faint remnants of a shelf label are visible at the top of the spine and there is an old ink-stamped name at the top of the title page. Podeschi Yale A9; Wilkins had seen only the later reprint but noted "there had evidently been an earlier issue. unknown books
1839CD095London: Chapman and Hall 1839 New edition. Illustrated with 40 engraved plates by George Cruikshank. Finely bound in contemporary three-quarter dark green calf marbled boards and page edges spine titled and elaborately stamped in gilt. Very good with wear and rubbing to spine ends edges and boards frontispiece with repaired tear some foxing to frontis and plates. Overall a very attractive bright and very clean copy. This collection of fiction first published as a series of short pieces in The Monthly Magazine and other periodicals was re-issued in book form in 1836 and stands as Dickens's first foray into authorship. The pieces were penned under Dickens's pseudonym "Boz" and offer insight into his observations of the streets of Victorian London and its inhabitants. The humorous and unforgiving social critique includes chapters such as "Thoughts about People" a grim take on the life of a working man in London as one that "cannot be said to be forgotten when he dies for no one remembered him when he was alive" and "The Broker's Man" a long lament by a character called Mr. Bung on the trials he faces working for a broker. The original two-volume set and its later-published third volume were illustrated by notable political cartoonist and illustrator of the time George Cruikshank who worked closely with Dickens to portray each character and scene exactly as he envisioned them. Sketches marked the beginning of many of Dickens's professional relationships which ultimately led to his rise to the prominence he holds today. Hard Cover. Very Good. Illus. by Cruikshank George.
