About the Item

AUTHOR: DICKENS, Charles. TITLE: A Christmas Carol In Prose Being A Ghost Story of Christmas. PUBLISHER: London: Bradbury and Evans, 1846. (c.1950) DESCRIPTION: FACSIMILE EDITION. 1 vol., 6-3/8" x 4-3/8", illustrated with 4 plates John Leech and 4 illustrations by W.J. Linton. Bound in full red morocco, ribbed gilt decorated spine, covers ruled in gilt, front cover with a multi-color morocco onlay reproducing Mr. Fezzwig's Ball, gilt dentelles, marbled pastedowns, and endpapers, all edges gilt, by Bayntun. Housed in a red cloth open ended slipcase. CONDITION: Inner and outer hinges fine, head and foot of spine fine, internally clean and bright, no gift inscription or bookplate, A FINE COPY. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Regarded as Dicken's most widely read novel and considered to be "the greatest Christmas book ever written in any language" (Eckel p. 116) selling more than 6000 copies in the few days leading up to Christmas. The work was extravagantly costly as Dickens for the first time (and incidentally his last) used color in the title-page and etchings as he wanted to make the book a beautiful gift and to be a celebration of the Christmas spirit. After the initial success, Dickens continued the series throughout the 1840's, maintaining "the Carol" philosophy to "strike a sledgehammer blow" for the poor, uneducated, and repressed.
