20 India proofs, 12.5 x 18 cm, each mounted in thick grey board, 20.5 x 25 cm, loosely housed in scarlet cloth folder & matching morocco slip-case, titled on spine 'Etchings to "Douglas Jerrold's Shilling Magazine". 1845-47'. Armorial bookplate of Herman Le Roy Edgar. These high-quality etchings represent all 20 illustrations printed in the first four volumes of Jerrold's Shilling Magazine, 1845-1847. Subsequent volumes were for some reason unillustrated. With a 41-line ALS from Leech to 'My Dear Leigh', very probably Leech's great friend the comic writer Percival Leigh. Dated Aug. 27, 1861, and addressed from Lowestoft, Suffolk, Leech begs his friend 'give [him]self a day or two's holiday and us great pleasure by running down here'. He tells Leigh 'it is a place you would like immensely - everything that you could desire in the way of sailing, bathing and walking about, to say nothing about a very good tap of ale.'. He goes on to tempt Leigh with the prospect of a swim, informing him 'it is not necessary (except for the ladies) to go through the ceremony of engaging a bathing machine - you just [deleted] of your things and walk into the sea as you feel inclined'. A nice warm letter between two lifelong friends who studied together and collaborated on several works.…
