Side folding journal. Pagination runs 33-42. Front cover illustration by Thomas Nast. Political cartoons throughout. Fourth issue of this short lived periodical attempting to pick up where Vanity Fair left off. Some of those associated with the journal had worked on Vanity Fair. Mrs. Grundy played a critical observer on the American political scene, and supported the Reconstruction as envisioned by Andrew Johnson. The journal ran for a total of 12 issues, before closing due to a lack of subscribers. Political satire and commentary throughout, including a poem written in dialect from the point of view of an African-American who feels abandoned by the US government. Also present is a full page illustration by Thomas Nast titled "Death on the Rails." POOR condition. Slightly ex-library, with faint blindstamp on the front cover. The whole journal is very fragile and brittle, with all pages DETACHED from each other. Moderate toning, some soiling and moderate to heavy chipping and tearing along the edges. Pencil note on the upper front cover. Seller Inventory # 019501
