[Charles Dickens (1812-1870)] – auction catalogue
Catalogue of the Beautiful Collection of Modern Pictures, Water-Colour Drawings, and Objects of Art, of Charles Dickens deceased: which… will be sold by auction by Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods… On Saturday, July 9, 1870. London: printed by W. Clowes & Sons, 1870.
Rare auction catalogue of the pictures and decorative objects from the estate of Charles Dickens, from the library of his solicitor Frederic Ouvry and annotated with prices, buyer’s names and a running total. We are able to trace just one other copy in auction records in over 50 years. In his will, Dickens made his cherished sister-in-law Georgina Hogarth and his great friend and biographer John Forster joint executors of his estate and guardians of his children. When Dickens died in June 1870, Hogarth gave a number of his personal belongings to his closest friends and colleagues; the remaining property, excluding his library, was sold at one of two sales held almost immediately after Dickens's death: the first held by Christie's on 9 July 1870 of the ‘Pictures, Drawings and Objects of Art,’ the second by a local Rochester auction house Thomas & Thomas of ‘Household Furniture, Linen, Carriages [etc]’ from 10-13 August, 1870.

Octavo (234 x 151mm). 11pp. (Some small stains and minor associated loss, 47mm tear just into printed area of final two leaves, some spotting, vertical crease throughout). Printed self-wrappers, sewn as issued. Provenance: Frederic Ouvry (Dickens’s solicitor, 1814-1881) – Sotheby’s, London, 13-14 March 1979, lot 354.
