Henry Cockton (7 December 1807 - 26 June 1853) was an English novelist, remembered primarily for The Life and Adventures of Valentine Vox, the Ventriloquist (1839 - 40). In 1839 Henry Cockton commenced writing The Life and Adventures of Valentine Vox the Ventriloquist. Published by Robert Tyas of London, in the monthly serial format, popularised by Charles Dickens, it was an immediate success, enjoying great popularity and acclaim. Illustrations by Thomas Onwhyn were a prominent feature of this. Valentine Vox teaches himself ventriloquism after seeing a performer in a local tavern, then uses his skills to create mayhem and mischief. Fearing this will lead him into trouble, his family send him to stay with his uncle Grimwood Goodman in London. This provides unlimited opportunities to perform pranks, such as disrupting political meetings, theatrical performances, educational lectures and social events. Ref HHH7.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Panorama. Cupid and Crinoline [Authors name not given but Attributed to Thomas Onwhyn] . published by Rock and Co. London. Not dated [1858] Panorama. Bound in original red boards with blue cloth spine. An Accordion folded strip, pasted joints after every second leaf. Attached to lower board of paper covered cardboard boards. Brick red coloured boards, illustrated with twelve hand coloured etched plates with text. COMPLETE. Rare panorama with typical Onwhyn humour, making fun of the contemporary fashion of large crinoline dresses. Twelve humorous scenes showing a lady in various predicaments caused by her very large crinoline dress. The verso of the front board has a engraved contemporary advert for 'W.H.J.Carter bookseller stationer', which has left a rectangle dent in the front board. Another engraved contemporary advert for the 'A Gentlemans Card Plate engraved . at Carters Stationer and Printseller, Regent Street' is printed on the verso of the first page; on the verso of the second page also has an engraved contemporary advert for the 'Theatre Royal Haymarket The Private Boxes'. These do detract from the panorama but the publisher had to make money as do newspapers who sell space for adverts today. The top right corner is missing throughout the panorama, possibly a hungry mouse. The Two sheets which had been detached have now been restored and are now professionally attached with Japon paper. The publishers, not to waste space have printed another engraved contemporary advert for 'W.H.J.Carter Carlton Library, Regent Street' printed on the verso of the last folding page. The last page folds out from the left to the right, the reverse to the norm and is sometimes missed. This is the similar as  'Mrs Caudle in Crinoline' which is also by Thomas Onwhyn. Also available for purchase from this website.A very nice copy of a scarce item. Folded size 15 x 15.5 cm [6 x 6.25 inches] Mrs Caudle was a figure of fun invented by Douglas Jerrold in 1845 that had her as a 'cantankerous, whining old busybody'. She would frequently appear as a stock figure of fun and would feature in Punch for many years, however Onwhyn ends his adaptation happily, unlike Jerrold's original on which it is based. Thomas Onwhyn. (illustrator). …

Hardcover. Condition: Good +. Panorama. Bound in original red boards with blue cloth spine. Inscription dated 1859 on verso of front cover. A Panorama of twelve hand coloured etched plates with text ,initialled 'TO', Thomas Onwhyn. COMPLETE. Rare panorama with typical Onwhyn humour, making fun of the contemporary fashion of large crinoline dresses. Twelve humorous scenes showing a lady in various predicaments caused by her very large crinoline dress. [A spoiler] The wife gives up her crinoline so her husband can be close to her. The characters originally come from Douglas Jerrold's Mrs Caudle Curtain Lectures. The boards are a little worn, as to be expected, rubbed with small pieces missing. I suspect this has been restored. The panorama laid onto a supporting sheets as two of sheets appear to have old 5cm marginal tears. The last two pages fold inwards. Scarce to find .
