Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fair. 'New Edition.' Illustrated with One Hundred Engravings on Steel and Wood. This is going to be a bit of a complicated listing. I have not listed this book as a signed book, however I'm going to price it, defensively, with that possibility in mind. I did search the Internet to see whether there was anot…her signed copy of this title for sale. I didn't find one. I also spent some time reviewing examples of his signature and what I saw did not create the confidence to identify this as a signed book. On the second front end paper the following inscription, in pencil, is written: 'Louie (or Louis?) from brother (looks like brother) George, Christmas '74'. Cruikshank passed away in 1878. Take a look at the photo. It looks like the first 'e' in George was possibly changed, probably by the signer, but who knows. I tried to find out whether he had a brother named Louie or Louis. He had an older brother name Isaac. I don't think he had any other brothers. He had two wives. I can't find any information about their families. He also had a mistress, a former servant, who he had eleven children with. Anyway, that's the story. You can see the covers of the book in the photos provided. They are in pretty nice condition, taking into account the age of the book. There is rub-through at all four corners. The edges are in pretty good shape, just a little light rubbing at the bottom ones. There is a scratch over some of the gilt lettering on the spine. There is wear and slight loss at the spine ends. The book is square, but the binding is not terrific. I've provided a photograph of a detachment in the middle of the book. Otherwise there are gatherings that are pulling away from one another, though not yet detached. Positively, the pages are very clean. In fact, in scrolling through them I only found one small spot on both sides of one page. I certainly could have missed a few, but clearly the pages are exceptionally clean. I did not see any foxing. And, beside a very light bottom corner semi-crease on a couple of early pages, there's very little creasing in this book. There is a very tiny loss on the outer edge of the one-page Preface. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments. And with the exception of the mystery inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. I've rated the book only Fair. This is entirely due to the binding issues. George Cruikshank (illustrator).

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. An attractive and complete set of Dickens' Works in nineteen volumes, uniformly bound in three-quarter leather. The Biographical Edition was published by Dickens' original publishers Chapman and Hall and presents his major novels, stories, travel writings and other works, each volume accompanied…by an introductory biographical and literary preface. Particularly appealing is the extensive use of the illustrations associated with Dickens' works, including those by George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne ("Phiz"), together with George Cattermole, Marcus Stone, Luke Fildes, John Leech, Daniel Maclise, Clarkson Stanfield, Richard Doyle, Frederick Walker and others. These include many of the images which have become inseparably associated with Dickens' characters and their original publications. The Biographical Edition of the Works of Charles Dickens, in Nineteen Volumes. Edited with introductions by Arthur Waugh (1866-1943), literary critic and father of Evelyn Waugh. Published by Chapman and Hall, London, 1902-1905. The individual volumes are variously dated: five undated, three 1902, eight 1903, two 1904 and one 1905. A very good set of hardbacks, uniformly bound in three-quarter dark green calf over green cloth boards, with gilt-lined borders. The spines have uniformly sunned to an attractive brown, retaining their gilt-tooled compartments and lettering. Covers with some scuffing and shelf wear commensurate with age. The marbled endpapers are split along the front inner hinges of the majority of volumes, with the binding cords visible, and a lesser number of rear inner hinges are similarly affected. Despite this, the bindings remain sound and secure, with all boards firmly attached. With swirled marbled endpapers, with some offsetting opposite leather turn-ins. Text is generally bright and clean with some toning/usage marks to vertical edge of text block. Top edges gilt, and still shiny and bright. Occasional minor page flaw. With attractive illustrations. A handsome and imposing set of Dickens, presenting particularly well on the shelf. Dimensions: each volume approximately: 226mm high x 152mm wide x 32mm deep. Weight: approximately 17kg (the set - unpacked). PLEASE NOTE: No extra postage required other than that shown, for UK orders. Elsewhere, please check with us first - there may be extra postage required due to size and weight of this set. George Cruikshank and Hablot Knight Browne ("Phiz"), together with George Cattermole, Marcus Stone, Luke Fildes, John Leech, Daniel Maclise, Clarkson Stanfield, Richard Doyle, Frederick Walker and others.
