Desirable hand-addressed and signed mailing envelope panel, 3.75 x 2.5, addressed by Dickens to “Messrs: Chapman and Hall, 186 Strand,” and crisply signed in the lower left, “Charles Dickens.” Also includes a wonderful crystal-clear 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo of Dickens in 1867, published by the London Stereoscopic Company. Both the address panel and cabinet photo are affixed to same-size cards. In fine condition. An especially interesting association, as Chapman & Hall was the publisher that released nearly all of Dickens’ works from 1836 through 1844, and again from 1859 until his death in 1870. This partnership encompassed most of his greatest works, including his very first novel, The Pickwick Papers, as well as The Adventures of Oliver Twist, A Christmas Carol, A Tale of Two Cities, and Great Expectations.
