‎COSWAY-STYLE BINDING - DICKENS, Charles‎

‎The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club.‎

‎London: Chapman and Hall 1837. First edition in book form presented in an attractive Cosway-style binding with miniature portrait of the author First edition in an extremely attractive Cosway-style binding featuring an oval miniature portrait of Dickens aged 27 after the painting by Daniel Maclise. All plates are present and in their early states with page numbers as called for but with no titles or imprints. Two plates by R. W. Buss were suppressed and the replacement illustrations by H. K. Browne "Phiz" are present in this copy. The Pickwick Papers Charles Dickens's first novel transformed the obscure journalist into England's most famous writer within months. The first monthly instalment was issued in an edition of 1000 copies in April 1836. The work became a publishing sensation after the introduction of Sam Weller in chapter 10 the fourth instalment issued in July 1836 after which the publishers reprinted the earlier instalments so that readers could catch up. By the time the book publication was issued in November 1837 many textual corrections had been made. Booksellers often list numerous and confusing text points that might conceivably apply to a perfect set of Pickwick Papers as originally issued in parts but all these points could never be found together in the issues in book form. The serial was originally intended to be primarily a vehicle for the cartoons of Robert Seymour until he died by suicide after the first number was published. Robert William Buss then took over but he was inexperienced in steel engraving and had to be replaced. The final choice Hablot Knight Browne "Phiz" was to be Dickens's chosen collaborator for the next two decades. Octavo 210 x 122 mm. Etched vignette title page frontispiece 41 plates by Robert Seymour and H. K. Browne. Early 20th-century green full morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe for Charles J. Sawyer spine elaborately gilt in six compartments covers with gilt borders front cover with circular red morocco onlay with Dickens's monogram in gilt gauffered edges gilt red morocco doublures with elaborate gilt dentelles front doublure in Cosway-style with central oval miniature portrait of Dickens after Maclise under glass and framed in brass watered silk endpapers gilt-stamped facsimile of Dickens's signature to front free endpaper. Housed in a custom green cloth folding box. A remarkably clean and fine example with some light foxing to frontispiece and etched vignette title page as usual some cockling to paper lining of free endpapers and bound without half-title.

Quarto etched additional title-page and 21 etched plates plate 7 present in two forms as noted in the Preface; publisher's half roan. <p><p>First edition and quite rare: the first purely artistic suite of etchings produced in Australia. Excellent impressions well inked on thick paper they have a real charm and vitalilty.</p> <p>Coveny an illustrator and painter of literary subjects was the first to produce a series of etchings or engravings outside the natural history and topographical genres. This suite of plates shows a mastery of the form and is not only a good example of the art of etching but also a key work in the development of printing arts in colonial Australia. The book was printed by John Sands who coincidentally had worked in England on the illustration of Dickens's novels.</p> <p>A self-taught printmaker Twenty Scenes published when he was 36 years old would prove to be Coveny's chief work. The year that it was published he travelled to England hoping to establish himself there as a graphic artist but suffered a mental breakdown from which he never fully recovered.</p> </p> . Thomas H.

‎A Tale of Two Cities.‎

‎London: Chapman and Hall 1859. First edition first issue of one of Dickens' most enduring works. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco marbled endpapers. In very good condition. Sixteen plates after H.K. Browne including frontispiece and title vignette. The most famous and possibly the most popular of Dickens's novels A Tale of Two Cities shows a master of dramatic narrative extracting gold from the ore of history. If the bloody tableau of the French Revolution were not in itself sufficient for a dozen novels Dickens added to it a professional resurrectionist an authentic ogress and an antihero as convincingly flawed as any in modern literature. “Dickens had always admired Carlyle’s History of the French Revolution and asked him to recommend suitable books from which he could research the period; in reply Carlyle sent him a ‘cartload’ of volumes… So great was Dickens’ enthusiasm for the story that it had indeed ‘taken in possession’ of him… The force of the novel springs from its exploration of darkness and death but its beauty derives from Dickens’ real sense of transcendence from his ability to see the sweep of destiny†Ackroyd 858. The last of Dickens’ books to be illustrated by H.K. Browne “Phiz†with 16 engraved plates by him. “Browne for 23 years responsible for all the etchings which had so successfully embellished these Dickens’ books produced his last drawings for the present work… Bradbury and Evans the printers of all and publishers of five of Dickens’ works as issued in monthly parts had ceased to act in this dual capacity after completion of Little Dorrit… resulting in the return of Chapman and Hall as publishers of this and all succeeding works†Hatton & Cleaver 333.
