Set in 19th-century England, particularly in London, Thackeray's "History of Pendennis" tells the story of Arthur Pendennis, a young English gentleman who is born in the country and sets out for London to seek his place in life and society. The character also appears in two of Thackeray's subsequent novels, "The Newcomes" (1853-55) and "The Adventures of Philip" (1861-62). Lavishly illustrated throughout with numerous in-text and full-pages steel and wood-engravings by the author, the novel was originally published in monthly installments from 1848 to 1850, and published in book form in two volumes in 1849-50 (our copy).

Turner, J.

Each plate is followed by a short critique by Thackeray. Thackeray was an old friend of Marvy, a French artist, who took refuge in London after the chaos of 1848. Theodore Taylor's 1864 biography of Thackeray mentions the history of the book: "A fine and skillful landscape painter himself, M. Marvy, while here, as a means of earning a living, made a series of engravings after the works of our English landscape painters. The publishers, however, would not undertake the work without a series of letter-press notices of each picture from Thackeray; and the latter accordingly added some criticisms which are interesting as developing his theory of this kind of art" (p.32). An interesting and quite scarce Thackeray item, very rarely found colored.Abbey, Life in England, no 207 : "The majority of the copies issued were uncoloured.".
