[DICKENS, Charles]. Master Humphrey’s Clock. London: Chapman and Hall, 1840-41.

First edition in book form, three volumes, leather-bound, hardcovers, tall octavos (25cm x 17cm), pp. iv, 306; vi, 306; vi, 426. English text; bound in handsome half-calf, marbled boards, with 3 wood-engraved frontispieces and prolific wood-engraved illustrations in the text, the majority by H. K. Browne ("Phiz"), with contributions by George Cattermole, Samuel Williams, and Daniel Maclise. Condition: VERY GOOD. Binding tight and secure with the joints and hinges intact, very light rubbing to extremities, the interiors largely clean with some spotting to endpapers, without previous ownership markings; a very good copy.

Notes: Ray notes that Phiz (H. K. Browne) "is in excellent form" and that George Cattermole's "wonderful clutter of antiquarian or architectural detail is well suited to Dickens's chosen subjects". Master Humphrey's Clock was a publishing experiment on Dickens's part, unique in his canon, of issuing two novels together: The Old Curiosity Shop and Barnaby Rudge. The publication was issued in three forms, in weekly parts, monthly parts, and the present book form. Eckel, p. 67 ff; Ray, The Illustrator and the Book in England from 1790 to 1914, 60; Smith, I, 6.
