Charles Dickens First Edition Book 'The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club', Victorian era, circa 1837. A mixed issue first edition of ''The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club'' aka ''The Pickwick Papers'' by Charles Dickens, published in London by Chapman and Hall, 186 Strand, with illustrations by Seymour & Phiz, as well as the front piece and vignette title page. It also has early issue points such as ''S. Veller'' present on page 342, line 5. In a move familiar to modern fandom, publishers often created special editions - as this one is with its hand-drawn illustrations - in order to entice buyers to purchase more than one copy. Size: 6'' W x 8.95'' H (15.2 cm x 22.7 cm). ''Pickwick'' was Dickens' first novel. He was 24, working as a journalist and sketch writer, when the publishers, Chapman and Hall, asked him to author small comic stories based on a series of illustrated plates to be made by Robert Seymour. Dickens accepted the commission but the stories quickly took on a life of their own. Seymour illustrated the first few, and then Phiz (Hablot Knight Browne) the rest. The latter proved to be a fruitful partnership and Phiz went on to illustrate many of Dickens' books. The character of Sam Weller in Pickwick led to the book becoming a massive publishing phenomenon, with bootleg copies, joke books, and other merchandise as well as multiple unlicensed stage productions. Real Pickwick Clubs sprang up about the country, including the Pickwick Bicycle Club in London, which is still in operation, and whose members are bestowed with a name of a character from the novel. This book is in aged condition, with a detached front cover and some loose pages, but a rare and collectible item. See accompanying images.

I am so glad the works of mine you have give pleasure, kind regards John Piper' Facade, a sequence of poems written by Edith Sitwell and set to music by Sir William Walton is one of the most important of the early British contributions to the new world of literary experiments by James Joyce and T.S. Eliot and the musical experiments of Stravinsky. Walton wrote the first version of the score aged only 20 when lodging with the Sitwells. The first recording was in 1922 and was performed in front of an audience of around twenty people. John Piper was commissioned to design the sets for another performance of Facade in 1942. A published edition of the poems was published in 1972, 'Facade; an Entertainment the poems by Edith Sitwell; the Music by William Walton', Oxfordshire University Press, London. It was limited to 1000 copies and included a 45rpm record of the 1929 recording. The present picture is a fascinating link, direct from the artist back through the twentieth-century to the birth of one of the most original and startling collaborative works of art ever created in Britain.
