A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens 1860, First Form; V. Early Edition Bradbury

Description: I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world. Hallo here! Whoop! Hallo!Here we offer the extremely scarce first form, stated fourteenth edition of A Christmas Carol In Prose. Being a Story of Christmas, by Charles Dickens and published by Bradbury and Evans in 1860. As "edition" meant "print run" to 19th century Brits, this is actually what we would refer to as first edition, 14th printing (of about a thousand copies each.) Bradbury and Evans shared the first issue publishing with Chapman and Hall after Dickens had a dispute with Chapman immediately after the book was released. Featuring Bradbury's original red silk boards and yellow endpages, gilted text block all the way around (to keep dust out,) and red and blue inked title page, the book features four hand-colored and four black-and-white illustrations, an extravagant book at the time. This copy retains the first edition signature marks (ie: "B" at the foot of the first page of text and "C" at the foot of p. 17.)The book has never been rebound or repaired and is in its original state. Lightly edgeworn boards (especially at the head and foot of the spine.) Minor soiling. Intact endpapers are uninscribed. Some fingerprints/light stains within. Binding is very tight and square; text and illustration plates are very clean, bright and crisp. 166 pages, plus a page of ads; measures approximately 6.75 x 4.5-inches.This classic treasure in marvelous condition will make an exciting centerpiece to your rare books collection or a very thoughtful and generous gift.
