1846118101846. With Vignette Illustrations on Wood by Samuel Palmer. London: Published for the Author by Bradbury & Evans 1846. 2 pp undated preliminary ads plus 2 pp undated ads. Original blue cloth. First Edition of Dickens's account of his 1844 tour of Italy. His description of the coaching trips which took him from place to place for five months is full of wonderful observations of his fellow-men. His account of a public execution in Rome is remarkable -- his emotional reaction is held firmly in control but revulsion at the whole proceeding is implicit in every line. CGEL Smith cites bindings both of fine-diaper cloth and of horizontally-ribbed cloth no priority -- see his Note 3; there are also copies in vertically-ribbed cloth. This copy is in horizontally-ribbed cloth and is in near-fine condition volume slightly aslant front endpaper slightly cracked one small front-cover spot. PICTURES FROM ITALY used to be rather common but attractive copies such as this are becoming increasingly scarce. Smith II pp 44-58. unknown books

As a business man he drove what to the young author at that time was a rather hard bargain over a copyright. But the appeal made on behalf of a needy family Dickens could not resist. He was in the middle of ëMaster HumphreyÃs Clockà and regardless of this he undertook the management of ëThe Picnic Papersà the proceeds of which were to alleviate hardships. He wrote the Introduction rewrote his unacted farce ëThe Lamplighterà altering the name to ëThe LamplighterÃs Storyà edited the balance of the book excepting the third volume and was enabled to place in the hands of the widow the sum of £300î Eckel.
