The "Pears" Edition of Charles Dickens' Christmas Books -"A Christmas Carol" (1912)
A & F Pears Ltd.
Illustrator: Charles Green
Here's a bunch of illustrations by Charles Green (1840-1898 ) from a volume published by Pears in 1912, the centenary year of the birth of Charles Dickens. They must be from some earlier source, however, as Mr. Green had passed away long before 1912.
Whatever the case, there are 27 illustrations and they include some seldom depicted scenes:
 |
A rare depiction of Scrooge's melancholy dinner!
|
 |
| That's Marley's face all right! |
 |
| We hear about people cooking their dinners at the bakers' but rarely see them! |
 |
| Martha looks so young here! |
 |
| Good ol' Topper! |
 |
| Love seeing this scene illustrated! |
 |
| This is a cool perspective! |
 |
| The window boy gets his own pic! |
 |
| This kid looks terrified! |
Curious that there's no depiction of the Ghost of Christmas Past, but there's a lot here!
I like them a lot!
