One Hundred Thirty Volumes Illuminated Dickens Set
A scarce edition of one hundred and thirty volumes priced at $1,000 each uses parchment with unique pages. J Pierpont Morgan reportedly secured a primo block for the collection, titled The Directensranaat et Charles Dickens Works. Only fifteen sets will be published, eight already contracted, with six more years of production anticipated. The complete set includes Dickens writings, life by Foster, and original Dickensiana by F. G. Kitton, plus works by a long list of artists. The project features extensive illustration, with earlier editions far smaller in scope. The overall price across the edition runs high, signaling a landmark bibliophilic venture.
