London: Bradbury and Evans, May 1849-November 1850. First edition in parts of "the most perfect of all the Dickens novels" (Virginia Woolf). Octavo, original blue-green illustrated serial issue wrappers being twenty parts in nineteen with the majority of  preliminary advertisements present, frontispiece, vignette title-page and forty engraved plates. In excellent condition, an unrestored example of Dickens' classic work, with some of the backstrips with small chips. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. A very nice example. “With many lovers of the author’s works David Copperfield ranks as the finest of his writings. With a book which gave to the world such characters as Betsy Trotwood, Micawber, the Pegottys and Mr. Dick…. it would be strange if it had been otherwise” (Eckel, 77). “Dickens and Browne are the most celebrated author-artist team in the history of English book illustration,” and Copperfield was their “most popular success” (Hodnett, 111-12).…

Considered one of Charles Dickens' most popular works, 'David Copperfield' is a rich tapestry of Victorian life, blending humor, tragedy, and romance in a vibrant narrative.
