Complete set of 24 Watercolor Character Sketches from Charles Dickens by Kyd (Joseph Clayton Clarke). Published by Raphael Tuck & Sons, London, Paris & New York.
Note: there is no publication date in the book. A previous seller wrote in “1889” in an early page. This should be considered an estimate, I do not know if this is correct.
Beautiful item, with front cover decoration - all illustrations are present. I checked them, incredible, vibrant colors! One page is loose in the book, but present. I posted several examples of the illustrations of the characters. The water colors are just amazing, in my opinion, given the age of the book, clear and bright. I have seen the illustrations from the book sold separately and, given this is a complete set, a wonderful “find”!
