Peake’s Bleak House drawings update

These are just glorious, but there’s more – much more – that I’ve never seen.

Peter W., who commented on the previous Bleak House illustration post, has informed me by email that Peake made more sketches than what are available at the site I mentioned.

These are the sketches that appear in the “Sketches from Bleak House” book, which is introduced by kidlit god Leon Garfield, no less. Peter’s website has more information… (All the way at the bottom.)

I looked for the book on Abe and found that the only US copies are going for $560. An Amazon vendor may have one for $118 or so.  It would be cheaper to have it shipped from Europe, I think.
