About the Item
The first editions in book form of three of Charles Dickens' best known novels. With 'David Copperfield' and 'Dombey and Son' present in early issues, and 'Little Dorrit' in its first issue.
The first editions in book form of three works of literature from iconic Victorian novelist Charles Dickens, in attractive half crushed morocco bindings, and with each volume illustrated throughout by 'Phiz', Hablot Knight Browne.
The first published volume here is the 1848 first edition in book form of 'Dombey and Son'. An early issue, complying with all but one of the first issue points identified in John C. Eckel's 'The First Editions of the Writings of Charles Dickens'; 'Captain' is correctly spelled as the final word of page 324.
Complying with first issue points including: 'Bradbury & Evans' to the illustrated title page; the vignette title shows the hook on Captain Cuttle's left arm rather than his right; no apostrophe in 'aint' on page 14, 10 lines up from the bottom; 'fidgetty' for 'fidgety' on page 26 on line 11; 'delight' rather than 'joy' to page 284, 5 lines up from the bottom.
Bound without half title and errata, however including plate 35, 'On the Dark Road', facing page 547, which is the first published example of a 'dark plate'.
Illustrated with a frontispiece, engraved title page, and thirty-eight plates. Collated, complete.
The second volume present is an early issue of the first edition in book form of 1850's 'David Copperfield'. First issue points present include: the presence of the date to title pages; dark plate facing page 482; chapter XXVII begins on page 282 rather than 283 as listed in the contents, and misspelling 'coroboration' to page 387 line 6 from the bottom.
As is frequently the case, however, 'screamed' has been corrected to 'screwed' to page 132, which is a common find. Issue points as stated by John C. Eckel in 'The First Editions of the Writings of Charles Dickens'.
Bound without half title and errata.
Illustrated with a frontispiece, engraved title page, and thirty-eight plates. Collated, complete.
The final work present is the 1857 first edition in book form, first issue, of 'Little Dorrit'. The first issue of this work, with three line errata to page xiv; 'William' for 'Frederick on page 317 line 27; B2 instead of BB2 on page 371, and 'Rigaud' for 'Blandois' on pages 469-73.
Bound without the half title.
Illustrated with a frontispiece, engraved title page, and thirty-eight plates. Collated, complete.
An exceptionally smart three volume collection of first edition works from perhaps the most important writer of the Victorian era, Charles Dickens.
