Eight colour plates and numerous black and white drawings. A fine copy, with slight bowing to the boards. Remarkably clean and bright. [44559] £800 Dickens sought to have A Christmas Carol published as a lavishly pro- duced book. Once out of copyright, publishers and illustrators competed to produce their own version of the work. This deluxe issue with Brock’s perfectly Victorian style illustrations, neatly captures the gift book style of the original.
