Demi-veau havane postérieur, filets dorés, titre et auteur dorés. Édition originale de cet ensemble de 26 lithographies rehaussées en couleurs sous forme de médaillon dont la première sur la couverture, la seconde sur la page de titre. Charles Bennett joue entre une scène au premier plan et l'ombre projetée par celle-ci en arrière plan. Cette ombre révèle une image différente : ivrognes, rabat-joie, gloutons, imbéciles et autres petits monstres.Initialement publiées sous forme de dessins individuels pour le magazine Illustrated Times du libraire David Bogue de Fleet Street, les caricatures de Bennett furent réimprimées dans de nombreuses éditions augmentées, populaires grâce à un procédé simple et ingénieux inspiré de la lanterne magique : l'ombre projetée par une personne éclairée peut révéler sa véritable nature.Charles Henry Bennett est considéré comme l'un des pionniers de l'illustration humoristique. On retrouve ses illustrations et caricatures pleines d'esprit dans Punch, The Comic Times et d'autres périodiques populaires des années 1850 et 1860. Quelques rousseurs, une mouillure angulaire sur un feuillet.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. "Shadows: Second Series" by Charles H. Bennett. Undated but probably published ~1856-1860 by W. Kent & Clo (Late D. Bogue) in London, Britain. Believe this to be the original boards so most likely First Edition. Believe this is a complete set of illustrations. Charles Henry Bennett (18281867) was a British Victorian illustrator who pioneered techniques in comic illustration. Volume contains 32 illustrations (including title page and frontis) of hand-colored humorous drawings by Bennett of various British characters and the shadows they create that reveal their true nature. Satire that caricatures Victorian society. WorldCat has only 4 of these books listed (of which only 1 appears to be the same as this one). Could only find one other copy of this book for sale (and the illustrations are in B&W and not the original boards). Book is in Fair condition. Original outer spine is missing. Corners are bumped/split. Rubbing/staining on covers. Part of the front cover by right edge has top layer of cover torn off. Interior is in Fair condition. All of the illustration pages are unbound except for 2 (the frontis and last illustrations). Possibly done on purpose as I have seen many other similar books that have been rebound with different boards. Illustrations are in Very Good condition though they do all have some foxing/staining on the edges. Still a very unique and extremely rare book! Your purchase supports a small business.
