c1880 Barnaby Rudge Uncommercial Traveller Leather Charles Dickens Antique Book

Barnaby Rudge + Uncommercial Traveller
By Charles Dickens
With Eight Illustrations (+ Four)
Published by Chapman And Hall: London c1880 (undated)
In Leather Bindings With Marbled Text Block - All Illustrations Present

"A powerful historical novel, Barnaby Rudge is set against the turbulent backdrop of the Gordon Riots of 1780, blending Dickens' gift for vivid storytelling with a darker exploration of mob mentality, fear, and social unrest. At its centre is the innocent and simple-minded Barnaby, whose fate becomes entangled in the chaos of rebellion, alongside a richly drawn cast of characters that includes conspirators, villains, and figures of quiet courage. In contrast, The Uncommercial Traveller offers a series of reflective essays in which Dickens adopts a wandering narrative voice, observing everyday life, hidden corners of London, and the human condition with warmth, curiosity, and subtle social critique.

This Chapman and Hall edition, published in London circa 1880 (undated), brings together these two distinct yet complementary works within a single Victorian volume. Bound in leather with raised bands and gilt spine titling, the book retains its marbled text block and endpapers, embodying the classic decorative style of late 19th-century Dickens collections. The volume is complete with eight illustrations for Barnaby Rudge and a further four for The Uncommercial Traveller, all present as called for, enhancing both the dramatic narrative and the observational charm of the texts.

Condition is consistent with age, with noticeable rubbing, scuffing, and loss to the leather on the boards and spine, along with foxing throughout the pages as shown. Despite this wear, the binding remains firm and the contents complete, making it a solid and attractive example for shelf display or reading. A characterful Victorian Dickens volume that will appeal to collectors, lovers of historical fiction, and those drawn to the author's more personal and reflective writings."

General wear and some peeling to leather bindings. All illustrations present. Prior owner stamp present as shown otherwise unmarked. Light foxing and general age toning present. Binding is decent with no loose pages - one cluster sits slightly proud of text block. A nice copy of a later Victorian Dickens in good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
