First Edition
Octavo, seven numbers, all with their original self wrappers or blue printed wrappers, sewn, as issued. First editions. Seven of the nine issues -- those for 1859; 1862-1867 -- of ALL THE YEAR ROUND (1859-1867). The issues present include THE HAUNTED HOUSE (1859), SOMEBODY'S LUGGAGE (1862), MRS. LIRRIPER'S LODGINGS (1863), MRS. LIRRIPER'S LEGACY (1864), DOCTOR MARIGOLD'S PRESCRIPTIONS (1965), MUGBY JUNCTION (1866), and NO THOROUGHFARE (1867). Dickens and Wilkie Collins were the major contributors to these issues. Others include Amelia B. Edwards and Jane Gaskell. For aficionados of the ghost story the highlight here is the first appearance in print of Dickens's classic "No. 1 Branch Line, The Signalman," which is part of the "Mugby Junction" cycle written by Dickens, Andrew Halliday, Charles Collins, Hesba Stretton and Amelia B. Edwards. Also present is "The Haunted House" (1859), a collaborative work by various authors, including Wilkie Collins and Mrs. Gaskell, combined with material by Dickens to create a supernatural story. The Dickens contributions to this work are the chapters "The Mortals in the House" and "The Ghost in Master B.'s Room." Wilkie Collins' story, "The Ghost in the Cupboard Room," is the original version of his classic non-supernatural nautical suspense story which Collins revised and published in 1873 as "Blow Up With the Brig." Bound with the original wrappers (when so issued) in calf-backed cloth, front cover detached. The advertising matter is present in the 1864 issue, including the OUR MUTUAL FRIEND slip. The issues for 1859 and 1862 are very good, 1863, 1864 and 1865 are fine, 1866 has a 40 mm horizontal closed tear in the fore-edge of the rear wrapper, but is otherwise fine, 1867 has a tiny spot on the front wrapper and a tiny hole in the rear wrapper, but is otherwise fine. A gathering of superior copies. Although large editions were printed, the Christmas numbers rarely survive in such admirable state. (#164477).

The price includes an upgrade to worldwide free shipping of the collection per DHL Express Courier. Austin V. Molloy (aka Austin Ó Maolaoid, AóM) was born in Castleknock, Dublin, in 1886, son of John Molloy, a master carpenter, and his wife Marianne. He studied at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, where he became friends with Harry Clarke, and started selling cartoons to Arthur Griffiths' Sinn Féin magazine from about 1909. His cartoons also appeared in Dublin Opinion from 1922. From 1923 he taught illustration and layout at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art, taking over from Clarke. Between them they taught a generation of illustrators, including George Altendorf, Olive Cunningham, Richard King, Victor Penney and John Henry. He illustrated numerous book covers, particularly for An Gúm ("the scheme"), a government project to publish books in Irish, including translated works of English, American and European literature. He died in 1961. (Source: Irish Comics wiki) Sprache: gaeilge.
