The British Library gives the date as approximately 1912, but the book was announced in an issue of the periodical 'The Common Cause' on 18th November, 1909. There are two different cover designs for the work, one with two children standing below an apple tree, and ours, depicting three women and a small child. It is not known which variant was the first, but ours appears to be the rarer of the two and, with its depiction of three strong women, more appropriate.The book contains a wide variety of culinary, household, and medical receipts, for example: 'Brains (For Invalids), Mrs. Julian Osler, Edgbaston; 'Llanberis Pudding', Mrs. W. Ryland, Edgbaston; 'Method of washing Handkerchiefs when travelling', Mrs. Vincent, Camberley; 'Chicken stuffed with Saccotosh', Miss Otter, Chelsea; 'Soubise Soup', Miss Dorothea M. Goldring, Claygate; 'To make Basins and Pans Fireproof', Mrs. Gayton, Merstham; 'Fairyland Pudding', Mrs. Buckley, Edgbaston. Two further recipes at the end are entitled 'Menus for Meals for Suffrage Workers' and 'Recipe for Cooking and Preserving a Good Suffrage Speaker', contributed by Mrs. Bertrand Russell, Bagley Wood, the latter with such amusing instructions as 'First: Butter the speaker, when asking her to come, with a stamped addressed envelope, post-card, or telegraph form for a reply ... Fifth: Do not let her cool too rapidly after the meeting, but place her considerately by a nice bedroom fire, with a light supper to be taken in solitude ...'.

The first plate in vol.1 has a pencil note to verso, "An extremely curious portrait, evidently done for this book's first number and changed for the one by Cruikshank which is much better". On recto at the foot of the image George Cruikshank has written in ink, "Not by any of the Cruikshank family" and on the following Cruikshank plate, "IR. not GC.". Cohn notes, "The plate to Part 1, "Mrs.Davenport", is found in two states...in fact the plate seems to have been re-engraved". In that he is evidently correct but he assumes that our first version is the second state rather than the first. Cohn also states that 20 of the plates are by George, in this he is also mistaken as George has annotated January 1817, February & November 1818 as being not by him and April 1818 by both him and Robert. Library Hub records only 3 printed versions: BL, Queen Mary University of London, University of Warwick.

DICKENS (CHARLES)The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, FIRST EDITION IN BOOK FORM, VERY EARLY ISSUE, 43 etched plates (including frontispiece and additional title) by R. Seymour, R.W. Buss and 'Phiz', with half-title and Directions to the Binder leaf, plates with the usual foxing, mostly in margins but heavy and affecting image in some cases, modern red calf gilt, spine with decorative tooling and lettering in gilt, 8vo (212 x 127mm.), Chapman & Hall, 1837Footnotes:AN EXCEPTIONAL COPY OF 'PICKWICK' IN BOOK FORM: WITH ALL THE EARLY ISSUE TEXT POINTS, ALL THE KEY PLATES IN THE FIRST STATE, AND ONE OF 'THE RAREST OF ALL PICKWICK PLATES'.Text:Rather remarkably, this copy has every first issue point noted by Hatton & Cleaver, with the exception of the impossibly rare early page variant ('only twice has it come under writer's notice', Hatton & Cleaver, p.56), being page 261 with the signature mark N2 rather than the correct X2 as in our copy. Plates:The present copy has the vast majority of the plates in the first state recorded by either Johannsen, Miller & Strange or Hatton & Cleaver (or all three), including the Seymour plates, and also has the two Buss plates. A few of the plates are Hatton & Cleaver's 'second plate', but according to Johannsen at least two of these are not genuine second plates but simply have the page number burnished out.Copies with the first plate ('Mr. Pickwick addressing the Club') in the first state are particularly scarce, John F. Dexter suggesting that of the first issue of 400 copies of part 1, 'I very much doubt whether more than 50 impressions in first state were obtained from the first set of steels' (Johannsen, p.2). Also present here is the extremely scarce Plate 14, one of two incorrectly paginated (as 169): 'In point of rarity, however, none exceed the two plates as originally etched for Part 6. To quote again the words of J.F. Dexter, 'they are the greatest rarity known to me in this book'' (Hatton & Cleaver, p.22). Plate 15 has the correct page number (154).List of plates with Johannsen and Hatton & Cleaver references:1. Mr Pickwick Addresses the Club: Plate A, First state, signature faint but visible.2. The Pugnacious Cabman: Plate A, First state, signature legible. 3. The Sagacious Dog: Plate A, the gun with hammer and trigger and no break in the barrel. Johannsen, Miller & Strange and J. Christian Bay all disagree with Hatton & Cleaver's assertion that the first state has the break in the gun.4. Dr. Slammer's Defiance of Jingle: Plate A, First state.5-7: All Plate A, First state.8-9: The two Buss plates.10.

Duchamp originally issued the first impression in an edition of 30 in 1924, and included a third edition in The Box in a Valise in 1941 (see Schwarz ibid. p. 511, no. 311). In 1924 Duchamp decided to try and raise money for a system he had developed for gambling at roulette by issuing bonds for 500 francs at 20% interest. Of the 30 bonds he originally printed, he only managed to sell two to friends - Jacques Doucet, the noted fashion designer and collector, and the painter Marie Laurencin. The system was a failure, Doucet was only repaid 100 francs and Laurencin nothing. The present example is from Duchamp's second edition issued in 1938. The portrait on the bond is from a photo by Man Ray of Duchamp covered in shaving soap.
