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.

‎The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby‎

‎London: Chapman & Hall 1839 First edition. Illustrations by Hablot K. Browne "Phiz". Finely bound in 19th century full polished green calf spine lettered and decorated in gilt gilt turn-ins all edges gilt marbled endpapers. An excellent copy extremities lightly rubbed with the usual foxing and some staining to the plates text otherwise very clean and bright. A very attractive copy. Nicholas Nickleby is Dickens's third novel which he began writing while Oliver Twist was still in progress. Characteristic of Dickens's work Nicholas Nickleby is a whirlwind of social satire with a complex network of characters and plotlines. The book highlights the controversy that surrounded Yorkshire boarding schools in the 1830s as news stories brought to light the abuse and neglect that was common among these institutions known for accepting unwanted children from parents who paid high prices to send them anywhere they could. Dickens's villain Wackford Squeers was based on Walter Shaw the real-life headmaster of Bowes Academy one of the schools reported for allowing rampant abuse of its pupils. The book has since been adapted for theater television and film and remains one of Dickens's most well-known works. This first edition in book form was bound from the publisher's parts with the stab holes from the original wrappers present and all the points called for by Smith meaning that it is one of the earlier issues of the first edition. Furthermore this copy was bound from the earliest states of the publisher's parts for as Hatton and Cleaver note "There are two distinguishing features only which point out early printings from later issues:" the substitution of "visiter" for "sister" on page 123 and "latter" instead of "letter" on page 160; both of these errors were corrected while Nicholas Nickleby was issued in parts causing Smith to cite these points as "in some copies." This copy has both "visiter" and "latter" deeming it a scarce first edition bound from the first state of the publisher's parts. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine.

‎The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club‎

‎London: Chapman & Hall 1837 Illustrations by Robert Seymour Robert William Buss and Hablot Knight Browne. First edition first printing three of the first issue points called for by Smith: "S. Veller" uncorrected on p. 342 "this friends" on p. 400 and "OF" imperfect on heading of p. 432. Contemporary full red polished calf with five raised bands and two spine labels in dark green spines lettered and beautifully decorated in gilt all edges gilt blue and red marbled endpapers. A beautiful copy with only some light scattered foxing and the usual toning to the plates early former ownership signature to second blank. An excellent and extremely bright copy in a fine binding. Smith I 3. The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club was originally published serially in twenty numbers bound in nineteen monthly installments from April 1836 - November 1837. This first edition was published shortly after on November 17 1837. The project was originally conceived by illustrator Robert Seymour who envisioned a series of humorous stories about the adventures of amateur Cockney sportsmen. Chapman and Hall employed Dickens to create a cohesive narrative that provided a background story for the illustrations. However the bold young writer purportedly wrote with little regard to the illustrations even making suggestions for their alterations at times much to Seymour's displeasure. After the second installment was completed Seymour committed suicide and was replaced in the Pickwick project by Robert Buss. However Dickens found Buss' work unfavorable and Hablot Knight Browne "Phiz" who would continue to illustrate many of Dickens' subsequent novels took over as the Pickwick illustrator. Smith comments on the complicated history of Pickwick's illustration: "The history of the creation of the plates is perhaps as complex as that of the printing of the text and different states of a plate and different plates for the same subject may vary from one bound copy to another…seldom in fact are all of the plates located in copies in the original cloth or rebound ones" which he partially attributes to the lack of a list of illustrations.
