Illustrated by an engraved frontispiece and vignette titlepage along with 38 additional plates by H.K. Browne ('Phiz'). All is as called for in Smith (including signature 2B2 printed as B2).

A bit of scattered foxing on the plates and preliminary matter, but most leaves and plates are quite clean; small hairline crack to the bottom of the front joint, otherwise very attractive and sound.
Sinopsis
Little Dorrit is a serial novel by Charles Dickens published originally between 1855 and 1857. It is a work of satire on the shortcomings of the government and society of the period. Much of Dickens' ire is focused upon the institutions of debtors' prisons & mdash ; in which people who owed money were imprisoned, unable to work, until they repaid their debts. The representative prison in this case is the Marshalsea where the author's own father had been imprisoned.
