The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby
Chapman & Hall, 1839.
First edition. Publisher's primary binding of dark green fine diaper cloth, with plain ruled borders in blind to covers and titles in gilt on the spine. Bound from the parts with plain uncoated endpapers. Plates in the earliest state with imprints at the base of the frontispiece and first four plates. Contemporary inscription and later bookplate to front pastedown. Steel engraved frontispiece of Dickens after D. Maclise, and 39 full page steel engraved plates in the text by Phiz [Halbot Browne]. A very good copy indeed, clean with bright gilt and aside from a small split to the joint at the head of the spine. A crisp copy with minimal wear, frontispiece foxed, but generally, internally clean with a little browning to the occasional plate. An excellent copy.
The author's third novel. Seldom encountered in good original cloth.
