"A Christmas Carol and the Cricket on the Hearth " (1905 Edition)



"A Christmas Carol and the Cricket on the Hearth" (1905 Edition)
Publisher: J.M. Dent
Illustrator: C.E. Brock

Here are some very nice illustrations by C.E. Brock (1870-1938) from a 1905 pairing of "A Christmas Carol" with "The Cricket on the Hearth."

Some color plates and some black & white, in plot-chronological order:


A rare portrait of an still-alive Marley!

An awesome Cratchit!

Interesting choice for a color plate.



The Ghost of Christmas Past looks like a woman.

This is a scene not often illustrated!





The pudding gets two pictures!

Topper!





Also not common!

Action shot!
I like these a lot!
