DICKENS (CHARLES)

Master Humphrey's Clock, 3 vol., FIRST EDITION IN BOOK FORM, wood-engraved frontispieces and illustrations by George Cattermole and Hablot K. Browne, publisher's purple-brown ribbed cloth, stamped in blind with border and elaborate floral-leaf design, upper covers with clock stamped in gold, spine elaborately gilt, yellow endpapers, spines faded as usual, corners slightly bumped or rubbed, preserved in single felt-lined green cloth pull-off case with gilt lettered spine [Eckel pp.69-70; Smith I:6], large 8vo, Chapman & Hall, 1840-1841

Footnotes

UNUSUALLY GOOD COPY OF THE FIRST OF THE TWO BOOK FORM ISSUES, with edges trimmed and yellow endpapers (see Hatton & Cleaver, p.163). This copy is bound without the dedication leaf in volume one - this was printed on the inside the back wrapper in the parts issue, which no doubt explains the occasional variation in the make up of the preliminary leaves.
