Item description
UP FOR SALE: Scenes and Characters from the Works of Charles Dickens (Chapman Hall, 1908)
Richly illustrated with 866 drawings by Fred Barnard, Phiz (Hablot K. Browne), Charles Green, Luke Fildes, and others, this large-format volume captures iconic moments from the novels of Charles Dickens.
Published by Chapman and Hall, Limited in 1908 (MCMVIII), this edition was printed from the original wood engravings created for Dickens? Household Edition. It?s a beautiful representation of Victorian and Edwardian bookmaking ? heavy paper, detailed line engravings, and gilt-decorated red cloth boards that were made to stand out on a shelf.
Condition:
This 1908 Chapman Hall edition shows its age but remains a solid survivor. The red cloth boards have notable wear ? spine ends are frayed, corners rubbed, and there?s some cloth loss along the edges. The binding is partially loose with exposed hinges (see photos).
Despite that, the interior pages are bright, clean, and complete, with all engravings intact and no major foxing or stains. The paper quality is excellent for its age ? still crisp and richly printed.
Overall, Fair to Good condition ? a well-loved but complete example that still displays beautifully and reads perfectly. A fine candidate for gentle restoration or a thoughtful addition to a Dickens or illustration collection.

Notes
Over 115 years old, this edition showcases the artistry and narrative power that made Dickens a household name. These engravings bring his characters to life ? from Oliver Twist and David Copperfield to Mr. Pickwick and beyond.
This is a handsome early 20th-century Dickens illustrated volume, not a modern reprint ? it carries the craftsmanship and aesthetic of the period. Perfect for collectors, decorators, or anyone who appreciates the golden age of illustrated literature.
