The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, better known as The Pickwick Papers, is the first novel by Charles Dickens. It was originally an idea by Robert Seymour, the illustrator, to which Dickens was asked to contribute as an up and coming writer following the success of Sketches by Boz, published in 1836. Dickens, supremely confident as ever, increasingly took over the unsuccessful monthly publication after Seymour had committed suicide.

CONDITION

This volume has been rebacked with new end papers. The binding is tight and firm with both covers and all internal pages securely attached. There is little wear to the extremities, apart from some slight rubbing to the boards and very minorwear to the leather corners. Many of the pages are generally clean and bright, although there are brown spots on various pages throughout, including the illustrated plates.But generally a very clean copy of a book notorious for spotting due to the paper used.The bottom edges of the frontispiece anddecorative title page show past evidence of worming. This does not affect the illustraions on these pages.On the whole this volume is in very good condition.
