‎The Personal History. of DAVID COPPERFIELD‎

‎1849. the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery. With Illustrations by H.K. Browne. 20 monthly serial parts in 19. London: Bradbury & Evans 1849-1850. Original pictorial light blue-green wrappers. First Edition in the original serial parts issued monthly beginning in May 1849 and ending with a double number in November 1850; the same sheets were then issued in book form using the preliminaries supplied in the last part on 14 November 1850. COPPERFIELD was Dickens's most autobiographical novel written in the first person; along with OLIVER TWIST and A CHRISTMAS CAROL it remains one of his best-loved today. This set has all the proper wrappers with the exception that the wrappers of Part II are from another Part I; also the rear wrapper of Part VIII is actually from another Part XV but the original Part VIII rear wrapper is loosely included -- torn in half and then stitched together with thread as was done 120 years ago. All 19 parts include the proper "Copperfield Advertiser" preliminary ads although four parts have one or more "Advertiser" pages missing. Of all the various terminal ads this set lacks only three: "Lett's Diaries" in VIII as is often the case "Eliza Cook" in XVIII and part of "Cundall & Addey" in XIX/XX. Four of the announcement slips following the plates are lacking. All of the 40 plates by "Phiz" are of course present though about half have some darkening around the edges. Condition is generally very good with minor wrapper edge-wear and soil; the wrappers' spines of some parts are restored at the ends with paper of similar color; in the case of the first two parts and the last double-part the entire spine is so restored. Most of the parts have the same early penciled signature at the top of the front wrapper -- a plus. COPPERFIELD was issued with fewer copies than most of Dickens's other serials of the period such as BLEAK HOUSE and LITTLE DORRIT; as Eckel wrote of COPPERFIELD almost 90 years ago "Comparatively the printing was small and the parts were much read and roughly handled so it is that fine clean and unrepaired copies are difficult to procure." This is not a fine set but it is accordingly not priced in five figures. Eckel pp 77-78; Hatton & Cleaver pp 253-272; Podeschi/Gimbel A121; Carr B220. Housed in a cloth clamshell case. unknown books‎

‎London April 1838 - October 1839: Chapman & Hall. First Edition. Hablot K. Browne Phiz. In the original monthly parts; 20 parts in 19. From the famed Hatton & Cleaver collection and annotated by Thomas Hatton who has written in pencil on the rear wrapper of part VI: "No. 920 - clean and perfect." Additionally Mr. Hatton has written in pencil in part VI on page 192 the final page of text "CNP . TH." "CNP" meaning "clean and perfect." Original green printed wrappers - ALL wrappers are correct.

FIRST STATE of the plates having the publisher's imprint beneath the illustrations in parts I and II and FIRST STATE of plate 29 in part XV with the long title and the signature "PHIZ" in caps a dot preceeding the letter "P" and another dot between the last two letters. Part XI has the Charles Tilt ad as cited by Hatton & Cleaver: "In many copies seen there is to be found pasted within the front wrapper a small yellow slip 4 1/2" x 3" issued by Charles Tilt Fleet Street. On one side it is headed "New books for Children/Tales of Shipwrecks & Disasters at Sea" and on verso "Unique Present" - Substantially all the ads and slips are present with the following exceptions: part II lacks the Mechi slip and two leaves of the Advertiser; part III lacks the scarce Joseph Amesbury ad; part VIII lacks only the scarce Tyas "Heads of the People" ad. All other ads are present as called for by Hatton & Cleaver. Part XIX/XX has the scarce "Hill's Seal Wafers" ad without the seals. The plates are very good to fine; tissue guards are present. Spines are expertly renewed on parts I VI and perhaps a few others. Subscriber's names or initials on front wraps of parts IX XII XIII XVI and XIX/XX. Small repair to fore-corners of part I front wrapper. Bookplate of Mortimer L. Schiff on page 1 of Advertiser of part I; armorial bookplate of Charles Parkhurst on inside of slipcase and chemise. Octavo i-viiviii-xxixii-xivxvxvi 12-624 with 39 plates by Phiz and the frontis by Maclise.

Housed in a handsome purple quarter-leather slipcase with chemise.

‎The HAUNTED MAN And The GHOST'S BARGAIN. A Fancy for Christmas-Time‎

‎London: Bradbury & Evans 1848. Cloth. VG- with the lightest of wear to the cover tips. Wear tpo extreme top of spine cloth. Light soiling and age-toning here and there. The ffep appears to have possibly been removed as advertising leaf is the first sheet when the book is opened but the joint where the front pastedown ends and the edge extends as the inner hinge and then onto the advertising sheet is mysteriously straight and glued with no cut marks or indentations onto the advertising sheet leading one to suppose there never was a ffep in this copy. 1' crack to the top area of the inner hinge. Red gilt-embossed cloth with ornate design on cover center and also along the spine. All edges gilt. 8 188 pp. Advertising leaf printed on both sides precedes engraved frontispiece and additional title on toned grounds by Martin & Corbould after John Tenniel wood-engraved illustrations by Martin & Corbould Thomas Williams Smith & Cheltnam and Dalziel by the following Artists: Tenniel 5 Leech 5 Stone 3 & Stanfield 3 Measures 6.75" high and 4.5" wide. The gilt on this copy is bright both on the cover and the spine. The ffep issue is vexing. Sold with all faults if any exist. A very nbice copy overall with nice shelf appeal. This is the fifth and last of Dickens's illustrated Christmas books. In this copy the first page numeral on p. 166 is damaged. This though priority is uncertain is the only identifiable issue point of this book. Smith II pp 66-70. Bradbury & Evans unknown books‎
