Here is a surprisingly groovy discovery as I glean, file, organize and prepare for a round of digital restorations.
Frontispiece and separate illustration, though attached, from the 1st edition of Charles Dickens’ THE CHIMES, A GOBLINSTORY. 1844.
While it looks familiar, I do not remember where or in what circumstances I acquired it.
I did not pluck it from someone’s copy, as I am not a cad and scoundrel. I think it might have been in a box of miscellaneous paper my friends since third grade, the Eckel sisters, gifted me when clearing out their parents’ miscellanea.
It is not without value, but removing it from the first edition assasinates the value of the book.
I will ask them if they in fact have the book, and restore the integrity of such a gem.
For those of you interested, look deep into the mechanics of bell ringing in the illustration on the left. Pretty boss.
