Extra illustrated edition in French translated by journalist and playwright Georges Duval (1847-1919). The comic misadventures of the naive yet gallant Mr. Pickwick, protagonist of Dickens’ first novel The Pickwick papers (1836), were incredibly popular among audiences. Added to this was the rich illustrative history of the novel. British artist Frank Reynolds (1876–1953) supplied the illustrations for a deluxe edition printed in London in 1910 and subsequently this edition printed by Flammarion.
