Erstausgabe
First edition. First state of vignette title page (dated). Publisher's primary binding of sage green cloth stamped in blind with ruled border and central arabesque to covers and lettered in gilt on the spine. A very good copy indeed with the spine slightly faded and dusty and a few trivial marks, but the cloth entirely without repair. Internally, generally very fresh with minor, superficial repair to the hinges, pronounced foxing to the frontispiece and engraved title, but the remainder of the plates, for the most part, notably clean. An exceptionally well preserved copy. Thirty nine full page steel engravings by H. K. Browne. David Copperfield, described by Dickens as "my favourite child", marks a step change in the author's career, a transition from composer of popular, picaresque, comedies to great novelist. It now ranks as one of the great novels of the nineteenth century. Sadleir listed it at the top of his list of comparative scarcities for Dickens in fine condition an we have found it consistently the most difficult of Dickens' major works to find in good unrepaired cloth. This is due in part to its shape and size. Like all of Dickens's octavo novels, the contents were simply too bulky for the flimsy binding. With Copperfield this issue was probably exacerbated by its popularity: the serialisation was an instant hit with the public and so when the completed novel was available it was read heavily or rebound for posterity.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. First Edition. 1st edition. Original (publisher's) green cloth, variant stamping to the binding not recorded by Smith, and though variant often means later, this copy can't be later, as it has the 1850 date on both title pages (the key 1st issue point) and 19 of the 20 internal 1st state points listed by Smith, a percentage greater than many copies in the common binding that Smith does describe and picture. Endpapers toned, short tear to the half title mended, foxing to the margins of the plates (more so at the beginning and end) but the text is clean and let me be unmistakable about what this is. It's otherwise in fine condition, startlingly bright, unfaded, the covers unmarked, and never abused, and rare like this, and you will watch many birthdays pass by before you see another copy that looks like our copy, with an unfaded spine, and intact, unrepaired inner paper hinges, and get this: Copperfield in cloth is the most difficult Dickens novel to acquire in fine condition confirmed by Michael Sadleir who assembled the most comprehensive collection of Victorian novels in cloth, and from his experience he provided us with 2 lists of comparative scarcities for Dickens' novels in cloth, one of them ranking their scarcity regardless of condition and another ranking their scarcity in fine condition, and on that list of Dickens' novels in fine condition Davie Copperfield is ranked first over, even, the notoriously elusive 1st editions, fine in cloth, of Pickwick Papers and Great Expectations).

No Binding. Zustand: Fine. DICKENS, CHARLES. (1812-1870) English novelist of the Victoria era. Autograph Statement Signed, ''Charles Dickens'', with a big bold paraph under his signature. One page, octavo. ''Tavistock House, London, Eight April, 1857''. Dickens writes: ''I beg to state that I give my free consent, on the solicitation of Mr. King of St. Michael s Hill, Bristol, to the admission into this country, of one copy of the Leipzig reprint of David Copperfield, and one Copy of a Liepzig reprint of Pickwick (I being the author of both books) brought over by a German passenger from Germany Manilla [sic] in the Hamberg ship Martahan Charles Dickens''. During Dickens visit to the United States in 1842, he campaigned vigorously for an international copyright law. He realized that he had lost income when his The Pickwick Papers was published in the US in 1837 by publishing pirate firms. On this visit, he met with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and even President John Tyler to press the need for an international copyright. Under the British Copyright Act of 1842; that law provided for the copyright period to last for the lifetime of the author plus 7 years, or for 42 years from first publication, whichever was longer. In this signed statement, Dickens is acknowledging, and allowing for the importation into the UK of a German edition of his works. He was thus ensuring that his hard earned efforts in establishing copyright protections were being met in this way. A very fine letter. Any mention, of any of his better know works, merits special consideration by the serious collector. When two of his greatest works are mentioned in the same letter, then that is a letter of very special qualities indeed!.

Eckel, 82-85. Smith I:12. Gimbel (Podeschi) A141. Dickens' most outspoken and outstanding novel, with 40 illustrations by Phiz, including frontispiece and vignette title page. "In Little Dorrit, Dickens mounts his single most ferocious onslaught against England and English society; against its government, against its financiers, against its artists and even against its ordinary citizens who, at least in Bleeding Heart Yard, believed that 'foreigners were always immoral that foreigners had no independent spirit" (see Ackroyd, 758). Perhaps unsurprisingly, many reviewers reviled the book upon its publication. Dickens' friend Hans Christian Andersen advised the author to ignore the critics: "They are forgotten in a week, and your book stands and lives" (Ackroyd, 780). A "wonderfully rich novel, rich in ideas, rich in characterization, rich in incident, and written in a richly imaginative prose. Many critics regard it as Dickens' masterpiece" (see Watts, 108).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Contemporary half red calf. Plates foxed as usual. Light wear. Very good. FIRST EDITION in book form with the vignetted engraved title page dated 1850. A superb association copy from the library of novelist E. M. Forster, author of A Room with a View, A Passage to India, Howards End, and others. Forster s Aspects of the Novel (1927) discusses Dickens. E.M. Forster s father died early in his youth and his childhood was dominated his mother, aunts and cousins. Among the most prominent was his paternal great-aunt Marianne Thornton, whose ₤8000 legacy was invaluable to Forster. Her niece Edith was the first owner of this book which was read by the young Forster cousins. The Forster family copy of David Copperfield became a part of E. M. Forster s library where it remained until his death. Upon E.M. Forster s death his library was divided between King s College, his friends and a sale catalog by W. Heffer and Sons booksellers. The present volume was lot 88 in that catalog. Of all Dickens s novels, David Copperfield is the most enchanting. Few novelists have ever captured more poignantly the feeling of childhood, the brightness and magic and terror of the world as seen through the eyes of a child and colored by his dawning emotions. The first of the author s books to be written in the first person, David Copperfield is based on Dickens personal experience and is thus of cardinal significance to the psychologist and biographer (Edgar Johnson). In the preface Dickens declared David Copperfield to be his favorite child : It will easily be believed that I am a fond parent to every child of my fancy, and that no one can ever love that family as dearly as I love them. But, like many fond parents, I have in my heart of hearts a favorite child. And his name is David Copperfield. Like Robinson Crusoe and Grimm s Fairy Tales and the Waverly Novels, Pickwick and David Copperfield are not books, but stories communicated by word of mouth in those tender years when fact and fiction merge, and thus belong to the memories and myths of life, and not to its esthetic experiences (Virginia Woolf). Provenance: the Forster family copy, with E. M. Forster s bookplate and the early family inscription Ella Forster from Edith Forster Christmas Day 1859. Sold ca. 1970 as part of Forster s library in W. Heffer & Sons, Catalogue 7 E. M. Forster, item 88.

xiv, [2], 624 pp. Text & plates quite clean [washed sometime prior?]. Illustrated with frontis, vignette title-page & 38 plates by Hablot K. Browne (Phiz). 8vo. 8-3/8" x 5-1/2" David Copperfield is a novel in the bildungsroman genre, narrated by the eponymous David Copperfield, detailing his adventures in his journey from infancy to maturity. It is also an autobiographical novel: "a very complicated weaving of truth and invention", with events following Dickens's own life. Of the books he wrote, it was his favourite. At first glance, the work is modelled on 18th-century "personal histories" that were very popular, like Henry Fielding's Joseph Andrews or Tom Jones, but David Copperfield is a more carefully structured work. It begins, like other novels by Dickens, with a bleak picture of childhood in Victorian England, followed by young Copperfield's slow social ascent, as he painfully provides for his aunt, while continuing his studies. The novel has a primary theme of growth and change, but Dickens also satirises many aspects of Victorian life. These include the plight of prostitutes, the status of women in marriage, class structure, the criminal justice system, the quality of schools, and the employment of children in factories. Bright gilt, a pleasing & enviable Fine copy of Dickens classic tale, now known to be primarily autobiographical. Custom bound in a deep,and lovely, full russet leather binding by Bayntun, elaborate gilt decorated spine, gilt stamped Dickens bust to front board, gilt facsimile signature to rear board, gilt dentelles, AEG, marbled eps 1st volume edition, with 1850 to engraved title & 'Norwich' p. 558, but with 'screwed', p. 132 (Smith I, 9).
