Description: "Mr. Pickwick pages from the Pickwick Papers" by Charles Dickens and illustrated by Frank Reynolds Hodder & Stoughton, London - 1910 first UK edition first issue - 174p, 30cmx20cm - Illustrated with 25 tipped-in plates in colour by Frank Reynolds, R.I. - condition: red illustrated boards with gilded lettering, with all plates present. An about fine copy. The nicest illustrated edition of the Pickwick Papers coming from the golden age of illustration The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (also known as The Pickwick Papers) was Charles Dickens's first novel. Because of his success with Sketches by Boz published in 1836, Dickens was asked by the publisher Chapman & Hall to supply descriptions to explain a series of comic "cockney sporting plates" by illustrator Robert Seymour,[1] and to connect them into a novel. The book became a publishing phenomenon, with bootleg copies, theatrical performances, Sam Weller joke books, and other merchandise.[2] On its cultural impact, Nicholas Dames in The Atlantic writes, "'Literature' is not a big enough category for Pickwick. It defined its own, a new one that we have learned to call "entertainment."[3] Published in 19 issues over 20 months, the success of The Pickwick Papers popularised serialised fiction and cliffhanger endings.[4] Seymour's widow claimed that the idea for the novel was originally her husband's, but Dickens strenuously denied any specific input in his preface to the 1867 edition: "Mr Seymour never originated or suggested an incident, a phrase, or a word, to be found in the book.

Condition: Fine
Description: A Fine copy of The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club by Charles Dickens, here published in two volumes in near-dark green cloth (which shows in some of the images as being lighter in color than it is), with the spines being lettered and decorated in gilt and stamped in blind and with each board showing decoration and lining in blind. The leading corners of each board remain sharp and the spine ends remain in excellent condition. The closed edge of each volume's page block's top edge is stained green. Each volume shows a pencil note to its front free endpaper and some spotting to its rear pastedown and the facing side of its accompanying rear free endpaper. Volume II also carries green slip of paper folded over the top edge of the rear free endpaper stating that the set is "CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS // Essential Backing Stock" and that the set must be Reordered "At Once", showing that this is likely a first printing (or at least an early one). Each Volume bears illustrations by Hablot Knight Browne presented as being by PHIZ, and each volume wears its RARE ORIGINAL DUST JACKET. While each jacket shows toning to the spine and some general wear and loss, sets in their dust jackets are QUITE DIFFICULT TO FIND, and perhaps RARE. Sets were published by both Chapman & Hall and, in the US, by Charles Scribner's Son, with this set being from the American Centenary Edition and the set includes all of the textual amendments made to the text by Dickens in 1867 and 1868, and reproductions of the original illustrations by Phiz. Copies of this set in Fine condition and in the dust jackets in any condition are EXCEEDING SCARCE TO RARE, making this set a REMARKABLE FIND.
