Plate I

CHARLES DICKENS
From a scarce Lithograph by
SOL. EYTINGE, Junr.

"And so as Tiny Tim observed, God bless us every one!"
Charles Dickens

This Portrait was published during the Novelist's last visit to America (1867-68), by Fields, Osgood & Co., of Boston, their advertisement describing it as "an Authentic Portrait of Charles Dickens, drawn on stone by S. Eytinge, Jr., whose Illustrations of Dickens's Novels have been so popular." The late Mr. J. R. Osgood did not recall any actual sitting for the Portrait, but remembers that Eytinge often saw Dickens while making the drawing. The impression from which the present reproduction was made is particularly interesting on account of the quotation from "A Christmas Carol" in the autograph of Dickens.

Lent by Mr. Stuart M. Samuel.
