Little Dorrit, with illustrations by H. K. Browne

Name: Little Dorrit, with illustrations by H. K. Browne
Author: DICKENS, Charles.

Book Description

First edition. Bound from the parts. Collated complete and correct. Pp xiv, 625. Engraved title page, frontis and plates by Phiz (H K Browne) present as listed (including the so-called dark plates). Contemporary half morocco gilt with raised bands, on green cloth boards, pale yellow endpapers, all edges gilt. Small binder's mark "JEFFERIES, BINDER, ANGEL CT, SKINNER ST, [?] B. G." to top front pastedown. (Presumably the B.G stands for Bishopsgate). A very little foxing or toning to plates, very clean text, bright binding. Textual points: Rigaud instead of Blandois to Chapter SV (indicating the earlier issue). Other indications of early textual state: Fidgetty to page 265, Diceing to page 360, signature is B2 on page 371 (see Smith Vol 1 91-95).

Dealer Notes

Very much less marking and foxing than is commonly found, in an exactly contemporary, and solid binding, all the more interesting from being from a named binder. Would happily form part of a collection of Dicken's first editions.

Author DICKENS, Charles.
