Sobre este artículo
London: Associated Newspapers Ltd,, 1934. First edition in book form, first impression, the deluxe issue bound in leather and printed on japon. The History of Jesus Christ was written by Dickens for his children between 1846 and 1849, and the author later claimed that the book was "an inseparable part of their earliest remembrances" (Letters, Vol. IX, 1997, p. 557). It was not intended for publication, and the original manuscript was left to Georgina Hogarth, and then to Sir Henry Fielding Dickens (the author's last surviving son). Sir Henry's will allowed publication "if the majority of his family were in favour". It was serialized in the Daily Mail newspaper from March 1934 and collected in book form, issued both casebound in cloth, the text printed on paper, and in the present leather binding, the text on japon. The publisher's advertisement is loosely inserted. Quarto. Original blue skiver, spine and front cover lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. With dust jacket. Portrait frontispiece and 11 illustrations, of which 8 are reproductions of paintings and 3 are facsimiles of Dickens's manuscript. Jacket a little toned and rubbed with a few nicks, no price as issued: a fine copy in very good jacket. Smith II, 12.
