Albert M Cohn; George Cruikshank: A Catalogue Raisonne of the work executed during the years 1806-1877; 184. There are no covers nor advertising bound in. Per Cohn there should be 195 Cruikshank plates however in 1841 two plates are replace by duplicates of 1841 plates in 1842 one plate is replaced by a duplicate of another 1842 plate and the November 1842 plate is missing. Foldouts from 1852 and 1853 are not hand-colored. Therefore of the expected 195 Cruikshank plates only 194 are present and 191 are as called for. Additionally Cohn calls for the 1835-37 to have been printed by Tilt these have Bogue on the title pages. Overall a worn and slightly imperfect set of the full run of the Comic Almanack suitable for savoring the George Cruikshank plates and text illustrations. . David Bogue etc hardcover

Housed in an open-ended slipcase moderately rubbed and toned covered in the same floral gilt-embellished paper used for endpapers. Near Fine with slightly rubbed spines. Light edge toning to interiors occasional thumbing and staining and spots of foxing. <p>No writer is more closely associated with Christmas than Charles Dickens who began with the immortal A Christmas Carol in November 1843. It was published on December 19 and sold so well there were seven editions by the following May. The Chimes followed in December 1844 and three more books appeared in 1845 1846 and 1848 two of the title page dates follow the then-common practice of dating a book published in November or December with the coming year.<br /> <p>The enduring appeal of Dickens’ Christmas stories lies in his unmatched ability to combine sentimentality with melancholy or righteous fury a balancing act of light and dark. A Christmas Carol composed as Dickens walked weeping through the dark London streets was intended to draw attention to the plight of the working poor in London. The Chimes attacks the cruelty and hypocrisy of the rich and the protagonist of The Cricket on the Hearth contemplates murder. The Haunted Man the last novella emphasizes the need to remember past sorrows and hardships.<br /> <br /> <p>Dickens wanted his Christmas books to be pretty – his specifications for the first cut severely into his profits – and it is appropriate that these copies have been given jewel-like bindings by Sangorski & Sutcliffe one of the most famous fine binderies in the English-speaking world. A beautiful set of beautiful stories illustrated by the leading artists of the day. Chapman & Hall / Bradbury & Evans unknown
