(London: Chapman and Hall, 1847). With illustrations by "Phiz." Demy 8vo; recent half leatherette, with spine tooled in compartments and gilt-on-red title label to second compartment; marbled boards; new endpapers and flyleaves; pp. x + (ii) + 628; several steel engravings. Somewhat rubbed; rather foxed; occasional soiling and a little light pencilling. Good working copy. Hablot K. Browne ('Phiz') is well known for his collaboration with Charles Dickens, ten of whose novels he illustrated. However, he produced more - and better - work for Charles Lever, illustrating sixteen of Lever's novels and two books of his essays. 'The Knight of Gwynne' is a representative example of this work. Charles Lever (1806-72) was an Anglo-Irish novelist whose novels, according to 'Novels and Novelists: A Guide to the World of Fiction', edited by Martin Seymour-Smith, "are vivid and accurate portrayals of Irish life." .
