What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
A new edition. In the publisher's original cloth binding. With a frontispiece, engraved title page and forty-one beautiful illustrations from R. Seymour and Hablot Knight Browne 'Phiz'. Collated complete. 'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club' was Charles Dickens' first novel. The story originated from a request by the publisher, Chapman & Hall, to compose a novel linking together a series of 'cockney sporting plates' by the illustrator Robert Seymour. The book became a publishing phenomenon, with theatrical performances, joke books and other merchandise. With an ink inscription dated 1900 for one 'Harry Goodman by the Manchester Jew's School', to the front free endpaper.
