1848 Charles Dickens 1ed Dombey and Son English Literature Illustrated Phiz Art

"There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor."
― Charles Dickens
While not regarded today as Charles Dickens' best work, 'Dombey and Son' was a polarizing novel that captured the hearts of its readers. In fact, the Grolier 'Catalogue of an Exhibition of the Works of Dickens' notes
"that there was nothing in all Dickens's writings better than the life and death of Paul Dombey. The chapter describing his death 'threw a whole nation into mourning'."
This work was first published in 20 monthly installments; this first book edition features the same engravings by H.K. Browne, which are "considered the best efforts of H.K. Browne". (Grolier). It features the two original pen-and-ink drawings by Browne each signed 'Phiz'.
