Beschreibung

First edition. Octavo. Handsomely bound for Henry Sotheran Ltd. in early twentieth-century half brown calf over red-brown linen boards, the spine with five raised bands and titles in gilt. Top edge gilt. Pale marbled endpapers. Illustrated with an engraved portrait frontispiece, with tissue-guard, and 39 further engraved plates by Halbot Knight Browne (aka 'Phiz'). Lacking the half-title. A very good copy, the binding square and tight. The contents with spotting to the plates (heavier to some), two plates with minor tears neatly repaired with tissue verso, and a stain to the bottom margin of one plate, are otherwise in good order. The first edition in book form of Dickens's third novel, originally issued in parts between 1838 and 1839, smartly bound for Sotheran's of London during the early twentieth century.
