Pictures of Life & Character from the Collection of Mr. Punch. [First and Second Series]
London: Bradbury, Evans, and Co., 1865.
Oblong folio, 94, 96 pp. Half morocco and green pebbled cloth boards, backstrip lettered in gilt, upper board pictorially stamped in gilt, marbled endpapers. Backstrip and tips considerably rubbed and worn but binding sound overall, pages with occasional light foxing and closed tears. Very good.
§ Later edition of John Leech's immensely popular Pictures of Life & Character, the first two series (of five in all). The several hundred humorous woodcuts are a wonderful storehouse of Victorian life and wit, and a window on social class and social niceties, fishing, fox-hunting, balls, shopping, horses and horse-racing, the seaside, transportation, education, and so much more.
