A Christmas Carol is a 1911 illustrated edition of Charles Dickens's ghost story about the miser Scrooge, published in New York by Hodder and Stoughton and drawn by A. C. Michael for a general reading audience. The pictures are pen-and-ink and colour scenes of Victorian London characters: the sharp, crosshatched line drawings show gestures, bent old figures and crowded interiors, and a designer could borrow their economical hatching for character-driven narrative work.
