Bookplate inked owner's names mild foxing first and last pages mild rubbing extremities overall a very good copy. With eight illustrations. Octavo. 543pp. 7" x 5.25" 1860s REISSUE OF DICKENS<br /> <br /> By the 1860s Charles Dickens was arguably the most famous living writer in the English-speaking world. Through his serialized publications public readings and deep cultural impact Dickens's works demanded mass publication. In response to this popularity Chapman and Hall issued the 'Charles Dickens Edition' c. 1867-1875 a uniform collected reissue of his works that helped to standardize his canon for Victorian readers.<br /> <br /> Offered here is the ‘Charles Dickens Edition’ of Dombey and Son Dickens’s expansive social novel exploring the tensions of family commerce and emotional neglect in Victorian society. Marking a turning point in his career it combines earlier comic vitality with a growing psychological depth and structural ambition—a handsome nineteenth-century example. Chapman and Hall unknown

DICKENS, Charles (1812-1870), [PHIZ, pseudonym of HK BROWNE, illustrator] H K
Dombey and Son. Or Dealings with the Firm of Dombey and Son Wholesale Retail and Exportation
London: Bradbury and Evans 1848. Classic literature FIRST EDITION EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED includes errata leaf within prelims bound from the parts without half-title. Octavo 22 x 15cm pp.xvi; 624. Illustrated with frontispiece and vignette and a further thirty-eight plates plus three additional portrait plates by H.K. Browne 'Phiz'. Period-style half brown oasis morocco over marbled sides. Discreet contemporary ownership to dedication contents toned plates browned and spotted as expected. A very good copy in an attractive recent leather binding. This landmark novel weaves together a number of stories concerning a self-important merchant and his two children. Dickens takes aim at arranged marriages and along the way deals with child cruelty broken and abusive familial relationships and the fears elicited by the advent of the railway - which towards the end of his life Dickens was to experience for himself while writing Our Mutual Friend.

DICKENS, Charles
Dombey and Son.
London: Bradbury and Evans 1848. In the primary cloth First edition bound from the original parts in the publisher's primary cloth binding. The novel is "now recognized as one of the greatest of all his works. It is also the first one to have an explicitly contemporary setting" ODNB. Following issue in parts from September 1846 to March 1848 Bradbury and Evans issued the novel in book form in the present cloth. In the 19th number of the part issue a slip advertised the novel ready for delivery on 12 April at £1 1s. in cloth or £1 4s. 6d in half morocco. The slip goes on to note "Subscribers desirous of having their copies bound in a similar style can have them done by Messrs. Chapman & Hall 186 Strand or through their Booksellers at the following prices:- Whole bound morocco gilt edges 6s. 6d. Half bound marble leaves 4s. 6d. In cloth lettered 1s. 6d". This copy represents an owner of the parts making use of these binding services with the characteristic stab-holes in the gutter where unstitched from the wrappers. At such a reduced price 1s. 6d compared to £1 1s for a new copy in cloth it is evident why an owner of a complete set in parts would prefer having them bound rather than purchasing a new book-form copy. For Dickens's novels the publisher kept a stock of first edition sheets and bound up copies and issued them over time as demand required. So too owners of the parts could make use of the binding services long after publication. Changes in the cloth design over time allow the binding to be dated and a primary binding to be identified. Smith noted this binding style as a variant but incorrectly identified a binding with a chain design as the primary - the chain design was in fact introduced by Chapman and Hall in the 1860s after they acquired remaining first edition sheets from Bradbury and Evans. Similar bindings with a chain design can be seen in Chapman and Hall's Dickens publications of the 1860s see Kremers p. 249. Kremers has subsequently identified this design which he dubs "marigold" as the primary binding. "Marigold" is unique to Dombey and Son. Copies of the novel were subsequently bound into the "lineal-globe" cloth in the 1850s with a central arabesque on the covers which is the primary binding of Bleak House 1853 and Little Dorrit 1857 and the "chain" cloth in the 1860s as stated above; these are secondary bindings. The primary "marigold" binding has two variants of blocking with ornamentation on the inner frame as here and without; the variant with ornamentation is presumed by Kremers to be the earlier. The spine lettering also has two variants indiscriminate with the blocking variants the base lettered either "London 1848" or "London" only as here; the absence of the date is presumed by Kremers to be secondary state. Demy octavo. Frontispiece vignette title and 38 plates by Hablot Knight Browne Phiz; plate 35 being the first published example of a "dark plate". Original green diaper cloth Kremers' "marigold" primary spine lettered in gilt spine and covers with elaborate design in blind cream endpapers. Expertly recased with neat repair at spine ends and joints spine and extremities a little sunned slight stain to front cover and ring stain to rear some foxing as usual plates browned and stained at foot. A very good copy. Smith I 8. Lars Kremers "A Comparative Bibliography of the Sheets and Publishers' Cloth Cases of the Demy Octavo Works of Charles Dickens 1837-1872" 2013 pp. 210-211. hardcover

Octavo bound in three quarters morocco over marbled boards gilt titles to the spine raised bands marbled endpapers top edge gilt. With 40 engraved plates including frontispiece and engraved title by H. K. Browne. In near fine condition. Dombey and Son "was well received by its readers and is considered to be the first novel that reflects Dickens's artistic maturity… Dickens told his first biographer 'It was to do with Pride what its predecessor Martin Chuzzlewit has done with Selfishness" Schlicke 280. The work "has a sense of the numinous is more profoundly touched by the sense of last things than any of Dickens' previous novels. It is larger in conception so that human life is seen in terms of its beginning and its end so that grief and forgiveness become more powerful forces within it… Dickens is aware of its status as art and provides here a simulacrum of human life touched by majesty and purpose" Ackroyd 526. The original serials contain the first of Browne's "dark plates" "On the dark Road" in part 18 created by the engraver's lining machine and roulettes that tint the etched plate creating heightened contrast Johannsen Phiz 309.
