Bound in contemporary half leather with marbled page edges, the volume contains all sixteen steel-engraved illustrations—eight accompanying each novel—bringing many of Dickens' most memorable characters and dramatic scenes vividly to life. Published by Dickens' long-standing London publisher at 193 Piccadilly, this attractive edition reflects the continued popularity of his works during the late Victorian era.\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      Great Expectations follows the life of the orphan Pip, whose unexpected fortune carries him from a humble blacksmith's forge into the complex world of Victorian society. Along the way he encounters unforgettable characters including the eccentric Miss Havisham, the beautiful yet enigmatic Estella, the loyal Joe Gargery and the fearsome convict Magwitch. Paired with it is The Old Curiosity Shop, the poignant story of the gentle Nell Trent and her grandfather as they struggle against poverty while pursued by the sinister moneylender Daniel Quilp. Rich in atmosphere, memorable personalities and social commentary, both novels showcase Dickens at the height of his storytelling powers and remain among the most beloved works in English literature.\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     \u003cdiv\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n     \u003c\/div\u003e\n     This substantial Victorian volume is enhanced by its contemporary leather binding with contrasting morocco spine labels and attractive marbled text block, offering both visual appeal and durability. Complete with all sixteen illustrations as called for, it is a desirable nineteenth-century edition for collectors of Dickens, Victorian literature and finely bound classics. Combining two literary masterpieces in a single volume, it makes an impressive addition to any library devoted to English fiction or nineteenth-century book collecting.\"\n    \u003c\/font\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\n     General wear and some peeling to leather bindings.
