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.
