Beschreibung

Dombey and Son by Charles Dickens with illustrations by H. K. Browne (Phiz) Published by Bradbury & Evans in 1848. A First Edition bound from the parts. Size: 8 1/4 x 5 3/8 inches. Page number: 624. Hardcover. Marbled paper boards with embossed calfskin spine and gilt lettering. with 38 full page black and white illustrations that include the 'dark plate' on page 547 (see image)*, the four portraits of Edith, Florence, Alice and Paul, plus frontispiece and vignette. Condition: Good. The boards are worn and the spine scuffed and rubbed through at the top edge; but the whole still holds together well. The endpaper, frontispiece and title page are marked by damp, and the plates browned, foxed and marked. The title page and frontispiece are probably the worst affected by foxing; but all are to some degree. A few engravings have historic repairs to the fore edge and other places where there has been damage, and that of Edith has actually been backed with another piece of paper. The pages of script are occasionally marked by foxing most particularly those at the front and the back of the book. Those in the middle are generally clean. * Dombey & Son contains the first published example of what was known as dark plate. It was created using a machine process which tinted the etched plate and so heightened the black and white contrast. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001194
