GOGH, Vincent van (1853-1890). ("Pensioner drinking coffee"). The Hague, c. 20 November 1882. Transfer lithograph in black ink on wove paper. Signed on the transfer paper at lower left. 433 x 264 mm (image size), 542 x 374 (paper size). NOTE: Lithographed portrait of the Dutch war veteran Adrianus Jacobus Zuyderland - note the decoration pinned to his lapel - who was Van Gogh's favorite model during his The Hague period. It is one of only three known impressions: two are now in the collection of the Van Gogh Museum at Amsterdam. An impression that was offered for sale at Sotheby's in 2016 turned out to be a reproduction printed on Japanese paper. All three impressions are mentioned in Van Heugten & Pabst in their 'The Graphic Work of Vincent van Gogh' (1995), and with reference to the third (this) copy they write "Present whereabouts unknown" (p. 92). As the other known impressions, this lithograph is retouched by the artist in places with light grey colour wash and black ink. Furthermore, the underlining of the signature, 'Vincent', is extended by hand with a thin line of black ink. Van Gogh produced only nine lithographs during the period 1882/1883 and most of the prints had very small runs, in several cases only three or four impressions are known. It was Van Gogh's intention to make a much larger series of 30 prints consisting of similar figures, but he never reached that goal. The 'Pensioner drinking coffee' represents a group of five lithographs depicting 'ordinary people' and the reason why he chose to use lithography as a medium, was that it enabled him to produce prints for (and of!) the ordinary man at affordable prices, 10 to 15 cents each. Prints like the 'Pensioner drinking coffee' fit into a stream of social realism that was popular around 1880: "Van Gogh's lithographs were deliberate attempts to emulate French and above all English artists, (…). The series of illustrations of working-class characters that appeared in the English periodical 'The Graphic' under the collective title 'Heads of the people' was a prime source of inspiration for van Gogh." (Van Heugten & Pabst, p. 11). - Condition: margins possibly cropped but the paper size of this impression seems to be larger than the other known impressions, margins on v° show very faint traces of earlier glueing to passepartout, upper margin hinged to passepartout, some unobtrusive water staining in right outer/lower half, paper a bit age-toned, else fine. - Provenance: Anthon van Rappard? > Collection De Kanter > Kunstzaal/Art Gallery d'Audretsch (inventory ticket with nr. 5737 available) and subsequently through descent within the family. This lot comes with a recent certificate of authenticity issued by the Van Gogh Museum.

Browne altogether, with all the parts priced at one shilling, except for the last double number, which was priced at two shillings because it contained two parts bound as one. Browne designed the plates as well as etched them, and the sale of the book was so great that “Phiz”, the pen name for Hablot K. Browne, was compelled to etch two sets of plates and some had to be lithographed to meet the demand, so you have to watch out for the lithographed plates because their use indicates a later printing. (See Eckel page 75.) Generally, the captions on the lithographs were “smudgy” and black instead of hairline, and all the plates here have hairline captions - even the so-called Dark Plate in No. XVIII has hairline captions - which means these plates are from the first edition and not a later printing. (The Dark Plate is titled “On the Dark Road” and was created from a printing process that gave the background a darker, more somber effect.) The parts have nearly all the other details to make this a first edition in the first state as well. Part No. V is supposed to have a 12-line errata slip for the Parts to be considered a first issue set, and the errata slip is present here before the plates, as called for. (Eckel says this errata slip is essential.) Another error by the author was not included in the errata - on page 284 of No IX, Dickens used the word “Delight” for “Joy” to describe Mr. Toot’s boat - it was supposed to be called “Joy”, but it got called “Delight” in the first printing - and that error is present and was never corrected. A couple of other typographical errors were included in the errata and have never been correct here either: on the last line of page 324 in No. XI, “Captain” is misspelled “Capatin”, and on line 9 of page 426 in No. XIV, the word “if” is missing at the beginning of the line, and these are all first issue points. The only mistake that has been corrected is the page number at the top of page 431 in No. XIV - the page number was omitted in the earlier copies of Dombey and Son, and the page number is present here. And on the last of the forty plates here - it’s in Part XX - H.K. Browne put the famous hook on Captain Cuttle’s left hand, instead of the right, the way Dickens wanted, another uncorrected error. So nearly all the first issue points are present here - the hairline captions, the errata slip in Part V, the “Delight” for “Joy” mistake, the typographical errors in No. XI and XIV , and the hook on the wrong hand of Captain Cuttle - those errors have not been corrected, and the only corrected error is the missing page number on page 431 - which means the set is almost a first edition in the first state, but not quite - it has to be called a first edition in a mixed state, even if all the other first issue points are here, because the error on page 431 has been corrected. A two-line errata note is also present at the rear of No. XX and it says that on page 494 [in No. XVI], the first line of the chapter reads “downstairs” instead of “above stairs”, and on page 497, line 29 from the top reads “you too”, instead of "you two”. Both mistakes are present in Part XVI and uncorrected here, as called for. (There’s also an eight-line errata at the end of some some copies of No. XX, but that has to be a later printing, according to Hatton and Cleaver, just because it’s eight lines long instead of two.) There a couple of other details to note. Several Parts have colored ads in them: No. I has yellow and green ads at the rear, No. II has a green ad in the rear, No. VI has green ads in the back, and No. IX has a beautiful Dakin & Compy Tea Merchants ad in blue, all as called for, and in No. II, the ad for Dickens’ A New Christmas Tale is present, but it’s supposed to be pink, and here it’s white. All the Dombey and Son Advertisers are present at the front of each part, as called for, and nearly all the other slips and ads are present. VII has a four-page slip in front and IX has two slips at the rear, both as called for. The only missing ads seem to be an ad for Gilbert’s Dictionary at the rear of No. X and an ad for Punch in No. XVI, and those are relatively minor omissions. There are remnants of a bookseller’s label on the front of Parts V and X and the full bookseller’s label is at the bottom of the cover of No. XX, and there are uncut pages in Nos. V, X, XIV, XVI, and XX. H. K. Browne (Hablot K. Browne 1815 - 1822) was an English artist who illustrated many of Dickens’ novels - his pen name was “Phiz” and he was Dickens’ favorite artist - and Dombey and Son was the first time Browne ever used the dark plate technique. The spines are rather clean, with some light bumps here and there, but not much wear on the spines at all; the pages and margins of the text are clean, and all forty plates are present, but most of the them have browning or spots; and No. VI has a half-inch tear at the bottom of the front cover and No. XIV a one and a half-inch tear along the spine at the back. The Parts are housed in a green custom box which measures 9 3/4 x 6 5/8 in. wide with faded letters on the spine, and the Parts measures 8 3/4 x 5 5/8 in. wide apiece. So this is basically a first edition, first issue set with a couple of small kinks - the page number on one page has been added and two minor ads are missing, other than that this is a nearly complete first edition set in the first state. See The First Editions Of Charles Dickens, Their Points and Values, John C. Eckel 1932 and A Bibliography of the Periodical Works of Charles Dickens: Bibliographical, Analytical & Statistical, by Thomas Hatton and Arthur Cleaver 1933 to identify first editions and first states in the periodicals of Dickens.

Bleak House, By Charles Dickens, in the original monthly parts as issued, complete with the original 20 parts bound in 19, in blue wrappers, with illustrations by H. K. Browne, London: Bradbury & Evans, Bouverie Street, first edition, first issue. The bottom of the front wrapper of No. I reads “Agents: J. Menzies, Edinburgh; Murray And Son, Glasgow; J. M’Glashan, Dublin” and “Notice is hereby given that the Author of ‘Bleak House’ reserves to himself the right of publishing a Translation in France”, and the notice about publishing rights is in heavier type than the line about the agents; this is altered in No. V and subsequent numbers to read “The Author of this work notifies that it is his intention to reserve the right of translating it.” There are 40 plates altogether and all the plates are present, including the Dark Plates, and the parts are housed in a custom slipcase. The book was Dickens’ ninth novel and was published in monthly installments that ran from March 1852 through September 1853. The last installment had two parts - No. 19 and 20 - bound as one and cost 2 shillings, instead of the usual 1 shilling for each of the parts. The outer slipcase measures 9 1/2 x 6 1/2 in. wide and has “Bleak House, Charles Dickens, 1852 - 3, Original Parts” in gilt lettering on the spine, and the blue wrappers are 8vo. and measure 8 7/8 x 5 5/8 in. wide. There are two substantive innovations in this novel: Dickens used short titles instead of long ones, and he changed the wrappers from green to blue. All the plates, slips, and ads which are called for are present to make this a first edition, first issue. There are forty plates altogether, and No. IX has the white slip which reads “An accident having happened to the Plate, it has been necessary to cancel one of the Illustrations to the present Number. It will be supplied in the next Monthly part.” The accident happened because the illustrator made a mistake by introducing Grandmother Smallweed into the etching, instead of the fair “Judy”, and the plate was cancelled, then corrected and issued in the next number, so No. IX only has one plate and No. X has three plates, as called for. (See Hatton and Cleaver page 291.) The following also need to be present, according to Eckel, and they are here: Nos. XI and XIII have the mauve slips concerning “Handley Cross”; No. XV has an eight-page slip about the “Village Pastor”; Nos. XIX and XX have the announcement of the publication of the “The Newcomes” on a yellow slip of paper, and all the parts have the Bleak House Advertiser present at the beginning of each part. According to Hatton and Cleaver, two other ads called for are present here too: the scarce “Grace Aguilar’s Works” ad in Nos. XIII and XVI and the “New Geographical Educational Works” ad in No. XIV. (The Grace Aguilar ad in No. XVI has only 2 of the 8 pages it’s supposed to have, and that is the only lacking in all the parts.) The Dark Plates were the result of “machine-tinting” the steel engravings, which gave an effect of mezzo-tinting. The steel was first closely ruled with fine lines and then the design was etched over the ruling; after that, the plates were burnished and the sense of light and shadow was heightened. The Dark Plates here also have clear lines on the captions, instead of fuzzy or smudged lines, and these clear lines indicate earlier plates and printings. (See Eckel page 73, when Eckel speaks about the captions for the plates in Dombey and Son - this makes a critical difference in understanding whether you have an early printing or a later printing of a Dickens work.) There are other indications of an early printing here too. No. I has uncut pages in the ad for Norton’s Camomile Pills in the rear; page 2 in the front ads of No. IV and VII are not paginated, as well as page 4 of the front ads in No. XVII; the “10” on page 10 of the front ads in No. XI and XIV has bold I’s; the slip for Household Words in No. X is inserted upside down, and a slip for Thomas Anderson & Son is inserted before the Bleak House Advertiser in No. XVII and this error is not mentioned in Hatton and Cleaver at all; and there are five lines of errata at the back of XIX - XX. There are tissue guards in between many of the plates, owners’ names at the top of four wrappers (Nos. VIII, IX, XIII, and XVIII) and light browning or foxing on some plates; some wrappers have numbers circled in pencil on the first page of the front ads (we don’t know why), one plate is loose (in No. XVI) and one plate has a one inch tear in the bottom margin (No. XIV). There is light wear on the heel of a few wrappers and some folds or light wear at the edges of a few wrappers, but the front of the wrappers are generally very clean and have no soiling. There is also a slight seam separation at the top of the outer slipcase, but it does not detract from the binding, and it is difficult to find a complete first edition set with all the points of issue called for, and overall this is a very attractive set of the first issue for Bleak House. See The First Editions Of Charles Dickens, Their Points and Values, John C. Eckel 1932 and A Bibliography of the Periodical Works of Charles Dickens: Bibliographical, Analytical & Statistical, by Thomas Hatton and Arthur Cleaver 1933 for identifying first editions and first issues in the periodicals of Dickens.

Little Dorrit, By Charles Dickens. With Illustrations By H.K. Browne. London: Bradbury & Evans, Bouverie Street. Agents: J. Menzies, Edinburgh; Murray And Son, Glasgow; J. M’Glashan, Dublin. The Author reserves the right of Translation” on all the front covers, with twenty monthly parts bound in nineteen, as issued; the last part was a double number (XIX and XX bound together) and all the parts are in the original blue wrappers. The first number came out in December, 1855 and ran through June, 1857. There are forty plates by Hablot K. Browne altogether, including the eight Dark Plates. The title page is at the rear of Nos. XIX - XX, with the imprint of Bradbury & Evans on the reverse of the title page (“London: Bradbury & Evans, Printers, Whitefriars”) and an unnumbered page dedicated to Clarkson Stanfield, three pages of preface, followed by four pages of contents, a list of plates on two pages, and three lines of errata at the bottom of page xiv at the rear, and 625 pages of text altogether, and this is a first edition, first issue set with all the slips and ads and plates called for by Eckel and Hatton and Cleaver, including the “Dark Plates”. This was the last time that Dickens worked with Bradbury & Evans and the last of the big novels published by this firm. Part of this was related to a fallout they had about drinking and alcohol - Bradbury & Evans were teetotalers, while Dickens believed in moderate drinking. Chapman & Hall became the publishers of nearly everything Dickens wrote after this. Little Dorrit was perhaps the saddest of all Dickens novels because the story was about imprisonment for debt, an occurrence which happened too often and just rubbed Dickens the wrong way, and the dark plates helped set the somber tone of the novel. Hablot K. Browne (1815 - 1882) was an English artist who illustrated many of Dickens’ novels. His pen name was “Phiz”, and in order to help set this dark tone, Browne incorporated a technique called “dark plate” - the plates were produced by using a ruling-machine that cut close-spaced criss-crossed lines into the steel plates, and these lines created an overall dark cast on the plates, which was ideally suited to convey an atmosphere that matched the somber theme of the book. The dark plates were first introduced in Dombey and Son and Browne continued to use the dark plate technique here and in Bleak House, and there are eight dark plates altogether (in Parts I, II, III, IV, VII, VIII, and XIX - XX). The book was attacked by many critics, but must have been popular with everyday people because it sold very well. Each part cost one shilling, with the last part (Nos. XIX and XX) priced at two shillings because it was a double issue - two numbers in one. All the “Little Dorrit Advertisers” are present at the beginning of each wrapper, there are 12 pages of ads in the front of each part, except for No. I and No. XVI — No. I has 32 pages of preliminary ads and No. XVI has 8 pages of ads in front, all as called for by Hatton and Cleaver. There are very few points of issue to be noted. The main one is the white slip about a name mix-up involving two characters (Rigaud and Blandois), and the second is about another name mix-up (“William” for “Frederick”). The first edition, first issue must have the white slip on page 481 in No. XVI to explain an error in No. XV, and the slip is present here. The slip is about one-third the size of page 481, and on it, Dickens describes the error made in the text of No. XV, in which the names “Rigaud” and “Blandois" had been mixed up. (See Eckel page 84). “Rigaud “ was used for “Blandois” seven times on pages 467 to 473 in No. XV and this error was not corrected in the first issue; in the corrected versions published later on, “Rigaud” was changed to “Blandois”, and the names are uncorrected here, as called for to be a first issue. There’s an errata note at the bottom of the list of plates at the rear of No. XX, and the note says that on page 317 in No. X, line 27 must read “William” instead of “Frederick” for the story to be considered a first issue, and indeed, the uncorrected version with “William” is present here; the corrected version in later issues reads “Frederick” instead of “William”. There are no tissue guards in between the plates, except in No. XX, there are a few uncut pages on the front ads in Nos. III, VII, and XIII and at the rear of No. XX, the owner’s name is on the front of several wrappers, there is light wear at the heel or crown on a few spines, light browning or foxing on some of the plates, but the captions on the Dark Plates are very crisp and not fuzzy or smudged, there’s light soiling on the front of a couple of covers and the rest are very clean, the text is very clean, and there’s been no repairs or restoration to the parts. The green custom box has “Little Dorrit”, “Charles Dickens”, and “Original Parts” in black on the spine and it measures 9 13/16 x 5 5/8 in. wide x 4 1/4 in. across at the spine, and the wrappers are 8vo. and measure 8 7/8 x 5 5/8 in. wide. So overall this is an attractive first edition, first issue set of Little Dorrit in the original wrappers, with all the slips and ads and plates as called for, and both points of issue are present. See The First Editions Of Charles Dickens, Their Points and Values, John C. Eckel 1932 and A Bibliography of the Periodical Works of Charles Dickens: Bibliographical, Analytical & Statistical, by Thomas Hatton and Arthur Cleaver 1933, reprinted by Martino Publishing 1999.

Our Mutual Friend, By Charles, Dickens, in the original monthly parts as issued, complete with the original 20 parts bound in 19, in the original green wrappers, with Illustrations by Marcus Stone, London: Chapman And Hall, Piccadilly, a first edition, first issue, with “The right of Translation is reserved” in small italics at the bottom of the front wrappers. There are 40 plates altogether, all designed by Marcus Stone, and all engraved on wood by Dalziel and W.T. Green (21 by Dalziel and 19 by Green), all the plates are present, and the wrappers are housed in a green custom slipcase. The book was Dickens’ fourteenth novel and was published in monthly installments called “Parts” that ran from May 1864 to November 1865; the last installment had two parts - No. 19 and 20 - bound as one and cost 2 shillings, instead of the usual 1 shilling for each of the parts. It was also Dickens’ last complete novel - he wrote Edwin Drood in 1870, but died later that year, so Edwin Drood was only halfway done and incomplete when Dickens died. Our Mutual Friend also took longer for Dickens to write because he suffered recurrent illnesses towards the end of his life, and the illustrations by Marcus Stone that were engraved on wood by Dalziel and Green also mark a departure from the steel etchings in Dickens’ earlier works. The slipcase measures 9 5/8 x 6 3/4 in. wide and has “Our Mutual Friend, Charles Dickens, Original Parts” in black lettering on the spine, and the green wrappers are 8vo. and measure 8 3/4 x 5 5/8 in. wide. There are many points of issue present that we believe make this a first edition, first issue. The printer’s imprint (W. Clowe’s And Sons) is missing on the front wrapper of Part No. 1 and it appears at the bottom of all the other wrappers, as called for. Part No. 1 has the scare slip addressed to the reader bound in just before the first page of the text; the small white slip reads “The Reader will understand the use of the popular phrase OUR MUTUAL FRIEND, as the title of this book, on arriving at the Ninth Chapter (page 84)”, and Eckel (page 95) says it is a necessity to have this slip “to insure a perfect copy”. It also has the four-page advertisement “The Economic Life Assurance Society” in No. 19 (the ad is tucked underneath the uncut text on pages 257 through 264). Page 13 is misprinted “31” in the front ads in No. 10, and Hatton and Cleaver state that this misprint appears in a few copies. There are other ads which appear in these parts that are often missing too. Each part has the advertisers for “Our Mutual Friend” at the beginning of the ads in front. The Headless Horseman slip appears at the rear in No. 11 and No. 12; the yellow announcement slip for “All The Year Round” is present in No. 8, 12, and 18, and No. 18 has the rare yellow “At The Bar” ad on the slip for “All The Year Round”. No. 1 has the four pages of Thorley ads inserted at the rear and No. 6 has the orange Armadale slip. No. 12 has The People’s Pickwick full-page ad after the 2 plates and before the text, and all the Norton Pill ads and Mappin Webb ads that are required are here. There are numerous ads in green, pink, orange, and blue, and the only ads lacking are the scarce "Economic Life Assurance" ad in Part 14 and the green Foreign Bank Note slip at the rear of Parts 19 - 20, otherwise all the ads called for by Hatton and Cleaver are present. All the plates are clean and present, with tissue guards in between the plates for Nos. 16 and 17. There are light nicks at the edges of some of the wrappers. No. 1 has light soiling and wear along the edges and a tear in the lower right on the front wrapper. No. 5 has slight restoration at the bottom tip on the front wrapper, but you have to look to find it. No. 9 and 10 have small paper loss at the bottom corners of the front wrappers, and there is a faint black oval or circular stamp on the front of No. 7 and a darker circular stamp on the front of No. 11. Otherwise the wrappers and ads and text are clean. Besides WorldCat and abe.com, we used The First Editions Of Charles Dickens, Their Points and Values, John C. Eckel 1932 and A Bibliography of the Periodical Works of Charles Dickens: Bibliographical, Analytical & Statistical, by Thomas Hatton and Arthur Cleaver 1933 as reliable references. Eckel and Hatton and Cleaver are considered the bibles for periodical works by Dickens.
