"Collectors Notes Included Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . The Pickwick Papers was Charles Dickens's first novel. Because of his success with Sketches by Boz published in 1836 Dickens was asked by the publisher Chapman & Hall to supply descriptions to explain a series of comic "cockney sporting plates" by illustrator Robert Seymour and to connect them into a novel. The book became Britain's first real publishing phenomenon with bootleg copies theatrical performances Sam Weller joke books and other merchandise. On its cultural impact Nicholas Dames in The Atlantic writes Literature is not a big enough category for Pickwick. It defined its own a new one that we have learned to call entertainment. Published in 19 issues over 20 months the success of The Pickwick Papers popularised serialised fiction and cliffhanger endings. The Easton Press unknown
