Description

This handsome volume is particularly sought after for its original 42 illustrations by the renowned artist Hablot Knight Browne, known universally as "Phiz," Dickens' most famous illustrator.

Publication Year: 1853 (Note: This is a 2nd or later printing; the first printing was 1852)

Publisher: Virtue, Hall, & Virtue, London

Condition: Average condition with foxing consistent with age (see photos), and a handwritten inscription on inside front page.

A great piece for collectors of Victorian literature and original antique illustrated books.
