Item description from seller

[HUMOR] [SATIRE] [ILLUSTRATED]. George CRUIKSHANK, illustrator. 8vo; viii [ii][1] 2-284pp; gilt-borders stamped on dark green calf, 5 raised bands on spine, maroon leather label; top edge gilt; green marbled endpapers; gilt dentelles; binder's stamp to verso ffep "Bound by Zaehnsdorf for A.C. McClurc & Co."; extra engraved pictorial title-page; original publisher's cloth front cover and spine bound in rear; 12 steel engraved plates, wood-cuts and glyphographs in text; rubbing and shelf-wear to boards, light age-toning of paper, a few spots; very good. Cohn 191. First produced as a series of monthly publications, this delightful book of humor, satire, and illustration comments on the foibles of the human condition. The editor, Gilbert Abbot à Beckett (1811-1856) was a British humorist and editor of the Figaro in London and one of the original staff members at Punch. The illustrations of British caricaturist George Cruikshank (1792-1878) are exuberant and often irreverent. Although society, language, and styles change, human nature remains the same and the humor in this volume is relevant today. The binder, Joseph Zaehnsdorf (1816-1886) was originally from Austria-Hungary. After apprenticeships in Germany, Vienna, and Paris he relocated to London. His bindings received awards at international exhibitions including the London International Exhibition of 1862.
