Description from the seller

A Christmas Carol – Charles Dickens / Arthur Rackham (illustrations)

London: William Heinemann / Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co, 1915. xi, 147 pages. 20cm x 15cm. Hardcover in the publisher’s mauve cloth, with gilt lettered and decorated front board, blind stamped decorated and lettered spine, mauve top edge, and printed endpapers. No dust jacket. First edition of this illustrated Christmas tale by Charles Dickens. With 12 full-page colour illustrations including captioned tissue guards, and 18 black and white double page, full page and in-text illustrations by Arthur Rackham.
Slight rubbing, bumping, and wear to the boards and spine, and tanning mostly to the spine. Both ends of the spine are fraying a bit. Only very little browning and spotting throughout. The text is clear, the illustrations are vibrant, and the binding is solid. Overall, a nice clean copy in very good condition.
