In 2020, Medway commemorated the 150th anniversary of the death of Charles Dickens. This limited edition reissue of the Mystery of Edwin Drood was published to mark the occasion and is presented in the same format as it would have been in April 1870, as the first instalment of a monthly part work, featuring chapters one to five of Dickens' dark, unfinished novel. The book includes the winning cover design of by printmaker Neil Mattingly as well as features, articles and prints created for the Dickens 150 Print Open Call exhibition at Rochester Art Gallery, and a range of new and original Victorian advertisements, just as the blue original would have had.
