About this Item

Hard cover with gilt titles within maroon frame on green leather spine and corners, and marbled boards. Cover wear involves tear to upper spine end with 1x2cm piece missing, minor rubbing of leather and some minor wear to boards, but front board is detached. Interior includes frontispiece by Dalziel, title page for The Old Curiosity Shop with 39 illustrations by C Green probably in the 1870s with a preface by Dickens April 1840, list of illustrations, 138 pages followed by part of a printed page pasted on blank page; frontispiece and title page for Master Humphrey's Clock dated 1841 vol. II, preface dated March 1841, vi, 228 pages; vignette and title Barnaby Rudge chapter the first, pages 229 to 306, end of vol. II; frontispiece and title page for Master Humphrey's Clock and Barnaby Rudge, Vol. III, vi, 426 pages including 6 pages at rear entitled Master Humphrey from his clock-side in the chimney corner. Published in 1841 these 3 volumes in a single book of Dickens would be in very good condition but for the detached front board. Charles Green was tasked with the illustrations in 1876 so I assume this is the publication date for this volume and the three books have been bound in the incorrect order. Further information readily available if required. Seller Inventory # 005339
