Published under the pseudonym Mr. M. A. Titmarsh, with Thackeray’s own name also given on the title page, this first American edition is an uncommon survival in original pictorial wrappers, with unopened leaves. The advertisements promote Jenny Lind, the Swedish Nightingale; The Count of Monte Cristo; and Genevieve by Alphonse de Lamartine. Additional advertisements on the wrappers promote Stringer & Townsend’s periodical editions of Cooper’s novels, Frank Forester’s The Warwick Woodlands, and The International Monthly Magazine of Literature, Science and Art. One of Thackeray’s Christmas books, this comic travel narrative follows Lady Kicklebury and her family on a Continental journey along the Rhine. Their encounters with fellow travelers expose their social ambitions, snobbery, and matrimonial schemes through the amused observations of Mr. M. A. Titmarsh. Contents clean and unmarked, complete and with UNOPENED leaves. An old historical society stamp to the front wrapper; slight wear at the spine ends. Binding sound and square. Original wrapper spine with wear and chipping; mild wear to page edges; covers gently rubbed. A Very Good minus First American edition in original pictorial wrappers.
