1880186058London: Chapman and Hall Ltd 1880. An attractive set Illustrated Library Edition later impressions comprising an attractive example of what Dickens called "the best edition of my works". Dickens's publishers launched the Library Edition of the author's works in 1858. It soon ran into problems and was "a commercial failure" Parrott p. 11. It then "gained a new lease of life" Parrott p. 12 as the Illustrated Library Edition launched in 1861. This became "an attractive and desirable set of books which achieved acceptance and popularity on both sides of the Atlantic" Parrott p. 19. The original volumes were published until 1874. A new edition with reset type and larger pages was announced in 1873 and published until 1876. It was "bound in bottle-green cloth lettered in gilt and decorated in black". This was "reprinted in this format several times down to the 1890s but only the first printing was dated" Parrott p. 105. 30 vols octavo. Illustrated plates throughout by among others George Cruikshank Hablot Knight Browne Phiz George Cattermole Marcus Stone Sir Edwin Landseer John Leech F. Walker Maclise Standfield Doyle and Tenniel.

1900187098London: The Caxton Society c. 1900. One of the most exquisite Dickens library limited editions Extra-illustrated édition de luxe lettered "A" of 15 lettered sets in fine uniform bindings and adding over 200 original watercolours to enhance the "superb memorial" of Chapman and Hall's 1881-2 édition de Luxe. Printed on Japanese vellum this set was originally published by Chapman and Hall with more than 700 illustrations including all those from the first editions. The watercolour artists include H. C. Green and Joseph Clayton Clark 1857-1937 who worked under the name "Kyd" and dedicated almost his entire career to illustrating Dickensian characters to great success. Kyd's first Dickens illustrations appeared in 1887 in Fleet Street Magazine and as early as 1890 major Dickens collectors such as Thomas Wilson and Frederick Cosens sought his sketches. The British Museum acquired a collection of 598 Kyd illustrations of Dickens in 1910 and the V&A the Charles Dickens Museum and the University of Texas each have a significant collection. Even today Dickens's larger-than-life characters are in part imagined through Kyd's depictions and in 2012 six of his illustrations were issued as stamps by the Royal Mail to mark the 200th anniversary of Dickens's birth. 60 volumes large octavo 259 x 173 mm. Prolific mounted illustrations both full-page and in-text and well over 200 original watercolours captioned in ink with character names. Title pages printed in red and black.

Partially unopened. A near fine set. <br/><br/> "The Library Edition came about largely because of the suggestion of Forster that while Dickens's works were available in volumes in the Cheap Edition and in reprints of the serial parts there was no high-quality edition that would appeal to the wealthy. Dickens eventually came round to the idea that an elegant edition could raise the stature of his writings. He faced a complication in that the rights to the works were divided between Chapman and Hall and Bradbury and Evans. Consequently the volumes contained the imprints of both publishers. With a dedication to Forster the Library Edition appeared in 22 volumes in 1858-9 at 7s 6d per volume. Titles included Pickwick Nickleby Chuzzlewit Old Curiosity Shop Reprinted Pieces Barnaby Rudge Hard Times Sketches by Boz Oliver Twist Dombey Copperfield Pictures from Italy Bleak House Little Dorrit and Christmas Books. The only illustrations were the frontispieces.<br/><br/>Between 1861 and 1874 this edition was reissued in 30 volumes with the addition of Tale of Two Cities Great Expectations Our Mutual Friend The Uncommercial Traveller A Child's History of England Christmas Stories and Drood. The reissue contained illustrations—the frontispieces plus additional illustrations by artists such as Marcus Stone John Leech and Clarkson Stanfield—and came to be known as the Illustrated Library Edition.Recognizing the continuing potential for sales of Dickens's works Chapman and Hall in 1873 published a prospectus for the Second Illustrated Library Edition containing they contended all the works the novelist wished to preserve. Calling it the first well-printed issue with specially cast type and better paper than that used in previous editions this set was published in 30 volumes between 1873 and 1876 and sold at £15 for the set a high price for the time" Oxford Companion to Dickens. <br/><br/>Gimbel D72.

From the collection of William E. Self with his book label in each volume. An excellent association copy with a presentation inscription on the half-title in volume one: "J.A. Overs / From / Charles Dickens paraph / 1st November 1840." John A. Overs 1808-1844 a London cabinet-maker by training educated himself and pursued his interests in writing. Dickens became his most important literary friend providing comments on his stories and poems introducing him to newspaper editors and offering financial assistance when Overs became ill. Overs first wrote to Dickens in January 1839 hoping to have some poetry placed in Bentley's MISCELLANY and Dickens recommended several pieces to his successor as editor. "Perhaps more importantly however Dickens advised Overs on the publication of his EVENINGS OF A WORKING MAN 1844 and wrote the preface to the work. . . . In his preface Dickens is careful to emphasize Overs's autonomy stating that although he had given advice to the author on this collection of short pieces he 'never altered them otherwise than by recommending condensation now and then' and assuring the reader that the volume's sketches represented Overs's 'genuine work as they have been his sober and rational amusement'" - DNB. The two men remained close until Overs's death in 1844: "When poor Overs was dying he suddenly asked for a pen and ink and some paper and made up a little parcel for me which it was his last conscious act to direct. She Amelia Overs told me this and gave it me. I opened it last night. It was a copy of his little book in which he had written my name 'With his devotion.' I thought it simple and affecting of the poor fellow" Dickens to John Forster 17 Dec. 1844 in the LETTERS OF CHARLES DICKENS Pilgrim Edition 4240. Edward Moxon hardcover books
