Three antique volumes of Charles Dickens published by Trade Publishing Company, New York (undated), in matching green cloth with gilt Art Nouveau spine decoration and engraved frontispieces:

Nicholas Nickleby: left penniless by his father's death, Nicholas turns to his rich, unscrupulous uncle Ralph for help supporting his mother and sister, and must make his own way among rogues and eccentrics, including the cruel schoolmaster Wackford Squeers.
Oliver Twist / Pictures from Italy / American Notes (bound together): the orphan Oliver runs away from the workhouse and is drawn into Fagin's den of thieves; Pictures from Italy is Dickens's account of his year living in Italy with his family from 1844; American Notes is his travelogue of his 1842 trip to North America.
Martin Chuzzlewit: wealthy old Martin Chuzzlewit grows suspicious of his greedy relations, and his grandson and namesake leaves the home of the scheming architect Pecksniff to seek his fortune in America.

The University of Iowa's publisher database dates the Trade Publishing Company imprint to the late 1890s-circa 1900; the firm was incorporated in Rahway, New Jersey in 1908.
