    Description

    Colour Plates, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding

    The first 'Cecil Aldin' illustrated edition. 

    A two volume, complete set. 

    Illustrated by Cecil Aldin with coloured frontispieces, monochrome vignettes, and twelve coloured plates to 'Vol I', and nine to 'Vol II'. Collated, complete. 

    'The Pickwick Papers' is Dickens' first novel, and was originally written in serial form.
    The novel is a sequence of loosely connected adventures and characters, occurring between 1827 and 1828. The character Sam Weller became well known for his popular humour. Charles Dickens is one of the most popular authors of the Victorian age. His novels show the grimy side of poverty and prosperity in Victorian England, showing poor social conditions alongside repulsive characters.

    In the publisher's original cloth.




    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth. Externally lovely with only the slightest marks to the front board of 'Vol II'. Offsetting to the endpapers. Internally firmly bound with bright pages with occasional minor spotting.
