"Mr Wickfield and his Partner wait upon my Aunt" by Phiz. Accompanying the plate is a reproduction of the engraving and a letter of authentication from Chapman & Hall Ltd. Together with an original watercolor of this scene, signed "Phiz," approximately 7" by 8", matted. On the back is a photostat of a letter from Phiz (Hablot K. Browne) stating that he has done 40 watercolors, illustrating "David Copperfield", "F.W. Cousens Esq." This is one of these. It is a charming delicate drawing.
