Description

2 vols., 8vo., First Edition, with frontispieces and 114 plates by the author, endpapers lightly spotted; original blue pictorial cloth, upper boards blocked and lettered in black, backstrips lettered in blue, blue top to second volume, uncut, a very good, firm set. With 2pp publisher's catalogues bound in at end of each volume. The second volume has a neat contemporary inscription on front free endpaper, and the trade ticket of Blackwell on front paste-down. Arguably the most famous and sought after of the many titles written and illustrated by Harry Furniss, a favourite illustrator of Lewis Carroll, and whose splendid caricatures were a byword during the last quarter of the Victoria era.
