A propos de cet article

DICKENS, Charles. [BROWNE, Hablot Knight ("Phiz"); CRUIKSHANK, George, illustrators. WHIPPLE, Edwin P., introduction.] The Personal History of David Copperfield. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company; The Riverside Press, Cambridge, 1876.

First Edition Thus. Riverside Illustrated Library Edition. Two volumes, complete. Octavo (8vo). Vol. I: 446 pp. Vol. II: 400 pp. Publisher's original green cloth, decoratively stamped in black and gilt, with exceptionally bright gilt portrait medallions of Charles Dickens on the front boards and gilt lettering to the spines. Illustrated throughout with engraved plates by Hablot Knight Browne ("Phiz"), George Cruikshank, and others. Introductions by Edwin P. Whipple.

Contents generally clean and unmarked with light, even age toning. Bindings remain sound and square. Gilt portrait medallions remain unusually bright and attractive. Some rubbing and wear to spine ends, light scuffing to the cloth, and minor corner wear consistent with age. An attractive and well-preserved matching set.

Issued as part of the highly regarded Riverside Illustrated Library Edition, this American printing helped introduce Dickens's works to a broad nineteenth-century readership in an elegant and affordable format. David Copperfield, often regarded as Dickens's most autobiographical novel, remains among his most collected and enduring works. The decorative Riverside bindings, combined with the extensive illustrations and early publication date, make this a particularly appealing nineteenth-century Dickens set.

Additional pictures are gladly provided upon request. Book(s) will be carefully wrapped and boxed securely for safe handling during transit, with international shipping available.
