This antique Victorian edition brings together two of Charles Dickens’s most iconic novels, Oliver Twist and Martin Chuzzlewit, in a single beautifully aged volume. Published by Chapman and Hall in the late nineteenth century, this edition features twenty eight detailed illustrations by J. Mahoney that bring Dickens’s characters and dramatic scenes to life. The book is bound in an attractive half calf leather binding with marbled boards, raised bands, gilt accents, and a bold red title label on the spine. It was expertly bound by Maxwell and Miller of London, whose bindery stamp appears on the endpaper. Inside, readers will find the full text of both novels, including the unforgettable story of Oliver’s escape from the workhouse and Martin’s comic journey of self discovery across England and America. This volume is perfect for collectors who appreciate Victorian craftsmanship as well as those who love decorating with classic leather bound books. The combination of its illustrated pages, handsome nineteenth century binding, and the pairing of two beloved Dickens stories makes this a memorable display piece with lasting literary charm.
