By the time that Martin Chuzzlewit appeared Dickens and his family were living in Genoa, so there are no inscribed presentation copies, thus the dedicatee (Angela Burdett-Coutts) received a copy bound by Hayday to a similar design to Chapman's copy. Chapman, and his partner William Hall, were instrumental in the success of Dickens's career, having published The Pickwick Papers, after which 'Dickens was associated with, and to a large extent made the fortune of, Chapman and Hall, even though he broke with the firm in so far as new fiction was concerned in 1844 [due to arguments relating to payments for Martin Chuzzlewit], and did not return fully until 1859' (ODNB).Provenance: Edward Chapman (1804-1880), bookplate; Sotheby's, 24 September 2019, lot 89.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Large 19th century Meissen porcelain figure of Count Brühl's Tailor, on a goat modelled after J. J. Kändler, with finely decorated Clocksthes and the tools of his trade, mounted allover - blue crossed swords, impressed and painted marks to the underside, 43cm high. Count Heinrich Von Brühl' (1700 - 1763) was The Kingdom of Saxony's Minister of the Interior and a Director of the Meissen factory from 1733 - 1763. By tradition, the Count's socially ambitious tailor asked for an invitation to dine at Court, in order to put him in his place the Count requested Kändler to make a comic figure of the tailor so he could be placed on the dining table rather than a guest at itCondition report: Some losses and restoration commensurate with age, including to the tailor's spectacles and scissors, to one of the goat's feet, one horn and ear, and some other extremities - displays well.
