An authentic and original display of a Charles Dickens signature, at the end of the first edition of Hard Times published in 1863, is one highlight of a unique exhibition of Dickens’ memorabilia to be held at Ċentru Nazzjonali Laburista.

To commemorate the bicentenary of Charles Dickens’ birth (1812-1870), SKS are holding a unique exhibition of Dickens’ memorabilia, which will feature prints of the writer’s portraits and older editions of his novels as they appeared over the years, some in facsimile format.

Copies of the first edition of the Maltese version of A Tale of Two Cities, published in 1950 by the poet Karmenu Vassallo, will also be exhibited.
