Holidays at The Morgan

THE MORGAN CELEBRATES THE HOLIDAYS

Press release date

CHARLES DICKENS’S A CHRISTMAS CAROL
On view November 20, 2012–January 13, 2013

Every holiday season, the Morgan displays Charles Dickens’s original manuscript of A Christmas Carol in Pierpont Morgan’s historic Library. Dickens wrote his iconic tale in a six-week flurry of activity, beginning in October 1843 and ending in time for Christmas publication. He had the manuscript bound in red morocco as a gift for his solicitor, Thomas Mitton. The manuscript then passed through several owners before Pierpont Morgan acquired it in the 1890s.
