London: Cassell, Undated, c,1894. Hardcover. Fair Condition. Item #376097

Archer’s lively "gossip" about Dickens blends anecdote, biographical sketch, and theatrical enthusiasm to present the novelist as both public figure and imaginative force. Drawing on contemporary reminiscence and richly supported by Barnard's full page character illustrations, along with contributions from other Victorian artists, the book evokes Dickens's world. Central to the volume are Frederick Barnard's eighteen full page character drawings; spirited, sharply observed images that helped fix Dickens's creations in the Victorian visual imagination. Barnard's plates capture gesture, costume, and temperament with a near caricature immediacy. Complete with the 18 large plates (paper measures 34 x 44 cms), each with a tissue guard, and all 105 illustrations across 92 pages. All edges gilt. Both boards still attached, but the spine is completely absent, and there is wear to the binding at the extremities and generally rubbing to the surface of the boards. The binding is graded Fair, whilst the contents would grade Very Good: The contents are quite clean, and the large decorative plates by Barnard are very attractive. Given the weight and especially the enormous large size overseas postage will sit somewhere between utterly impossible and astronomically prohibitively expensive. Size: 34 x 45 cms.
