Onwhyn's additional 32 illustrations were issued in eight parts, for the most part signed with the pseudonym Samuel Weller, but some bear Onwhyn's initials. Additional illustrations were published for many of Dickens's successful novels. "Whether by the same or rival publishers, extra-illustrations became part of the marketing of his works. the early sets participated in the periodicity of Dickens's monthly publications in that they were also published in monthly parts to be completed with the completion of the text; they were advertised on the wrappers and in the Advertisers" (Luisa CalÈ, "Dickens Extra-Illustrated: Heads and Scenes in Monthly Parts", The Yearbook of English Studies, vol. 40, nos. 1/2, 2010.) See also OCLC 28011324: "First plate has same illustration as cover, but without number of plates and price at head, without artist's pseudonym, and with a different date in imprint at foot: Decr. 9, 1837 on t.p., Novr. 30, 1837 in imprint on first plate.". Signed.

First edition thus. Thomas Onwhyn designed 32 illustrations to accompany The Pickwick Papers, which were published in 1837. In 1847, Onwhyn began to design a set of 12 etchings to accompany the new cheap edition of Pickwick. However his 1837 illustrations were reissued as lithographs, and he abandoned the project. The family sold the etchings to Albert Jackson, who reissued them in various formats in 1894, two of these formats present here. It is possible that F. W. Pailthorpe hand-coloured the etchings in the first copy - a pencilled note in the chemise states thus. Gimbel H1130. 2 copies in variant states, small folio.

Loose sheets as issued in original green printed wrappers. Housed together in a red cloth chemise within red cloth slipcase, spine lettered in gilt. Very light peripheral creasing, else fine copies.
