About this Item
STEREOTYPE PLATE EDITION. A FACSIMILE edition from 1886, reprinted from the stereotype plates of the first edition (which was 1845). Dickens's second Christmas book. Includes advertisements on both front & rear pastedowns, as issued. Illustrations list calls for 13 engravings in text, this copy with only 11 engravings (pages 1, 9, 34, 49, 55, 88, 92, 120, 125, 135, & 174). Also includes extra-illustrated title page, engraved by F.P. Becker (artist is D. Maclise). Pagination complete on this copy, so it's undetermined why two illustrations are apparently lacking within the text. Front cover & spine gilt reproduced from the first edition. Bound in publisher's original full red cloth with gilt lettering & design to front board & spine. A good copy only. Cover moderately soiled with marks & rubbed, spine heavily rubbed, repaired horizontal closed tear to illustration list page, both hinges professionally tape-repaired, faint stain to upper right corner of engraved title page, small piece lacking to upper corner of title page, handling wear, light foxing to outer edge of book block & mild internal foxing, otherwise despite all the faults still a tight solid hardcover copy. 175pp. Seller Inventory # 001170
