POLLOCK'S CHARACTERS & SCENES In OLIVER TWIST 6 Plates Characters 1 Set Piece 3 Wings and 13 Scenes. Total 23. With Book to the Above
London: Published by B. Pollock 73 Hoxton Street Hoxton n. d. 1st printing thus. Cf. Gimbel C35; Suzanette Catalogue E.35 showing this illustration; Suzanette TREASURES 30 also showing this image; VanderPoel B1091 all for the entire publication. Now housed in an archival mylar sleeve. Age-toning to paper. Small loss at two right corners. Very Good. Single sheet printed recto only. Wood engraved printing with 7 characters from Dickens' novel. Oriented horizontally: 6-5/8" x 8-1/4" <br/><br/>Item appears to be a leaftet-type advertiser for Pollock's work initially published by Redington and ostensibly the only juvenile dramatization of Dickens' work cf. Suzanette TREASURES. Estimated date of publication varies from authority to authority. VanderPoel gives c. 1839; Gimbel 1860 and the copy auctioned by Christies for the Self sale was described as "Post - 1876". We subscribe to this last as Redington's theatrical publishing firm was taken over by Benjamin Pollock in 1876 after Pollock married Redington's daughter. Pollock reissued many of Redington's plays with his own imprint as did many of the publishers until his death in 1937. Cf. Speaight G. History of the English Toy Theatre 1969 ed. p. 149 191-192.
