Dickens, Charles. (1812-1870) Important English Novelist. Dickens works are esteemed for their vivid larger-than-life characters, their masterful narration, ironic and incongruous humor, and deep concern for the social injustices of their time, against which the novelist vigorously campaigned.
Autograph Postal Cover Signed. Small envelope, 4½ x 2½", Ireland, postmarked May 18, 1853. Addressed in Dickens' hand, and signed by the novelist at bottom left, "Charles Dickens." Soiled throughout, evidently from much handling. Dickens' signature is unaffected by the soiling, and stands out boldly in bright blue ink.
Estimated Value $250-350.
