About the Item

AUTHOR: DICKENS, Charles. TITLE: A Christmas Carol In Prose Being A Ghost Story of Christmas. PUBLISHER: London: Bradbury Evans, c.1950. DESCRIPTION: FACSIMILIE EDITION. 1 vol., 6-7/16" X 4-1/8", illustrated with 4 colored plates by John Leech and 4 black and white illustrations by W.J. Linton, bound in full blue polished calf, covers triple ruled in gilt, gilt wreath and title to front cover after the original, ribbed gilt decorated spine, gilt lettered red morocco spine labels and onlays to spine panels, gilt dentelles, all edges gilt, marbled pastedowns and endpapers. CONDITION: Internally clean and bright, inner and outer hinges fine, head and foot of spine fine, by Zaehnsdorf, LIKE NEW. With it's original box, slightly worn. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Regarded as Dicken's most widely read novel and considered to be "the greatest Christmas book ever written in any language" (Eckel p. 116) selling more than 6000 copies in the few days leading up to Christmas. The work was extravagantly costly as Dickens for the first time (and incidentally his last) used color in the title-page and etchings as he wanted to make the book a beautiful gift and to be a celebration of the Christmas spirit. After the initial success, Dickens continued the series throughout the 1840's, maintaining "the Carol" philosophy to "strike a sledgehammer blow" for the poor, uneducated, and repressed.
