Description: DEALINGS WITH THE FIRM OF DOMBEY AND SON, Wholesale, Retail, and for Exportation. Volume I. CHARLES DICKENS, WILEY AND PUTNAM, NEW YORK, 1846. Dombey and Son is a novel by English author Charles Dickens. It follows the fortunes of a shipping firm owner, who is frustrated at the lack of a son to follow him in his footsteps; he initially rejects his daughter's love before eventually becoming reconciled with her before his death.--Wikipedia Dark green leather and a gilt title (plus VOL. I.) over a dark brown swatch at the spine with four raised bands and brown marbled boards. Secure binding with a moderately rubbed cover, few tiny nicks to the extremities, and clean pages with negligible foxing. Original owner cursive names at the front/rear endpaper. Full-page illustrations. This is Volume I (only). According to Wikipedia, George Palmer Putnam dissolved his publishing relationship with John Wiley in 1848. The Preface page to this book has a date of the Twenty-fourth of March 1848, so it must have been shortly after if this was the case. About 7-3/8 x 5 with 485 pages. Rare!
