CRUIKSHANK, George, and HINE, Henry George (illustrators). The Comic Almanack and Diary for 1851. Edited by Henry Mayhew. London: David Bogue, 1851. FIRST EDITION, deluxe issue with color illustrations. Octavo (8vo). 64 pp., with 24 pp. of publisher’s advertisements. Publisher’s original gilt-decorated cloth, cut flush with the text block. Illustrated throughout by George Cruikshank and Henry George Hine, including a folding etched frontispiece by Cruikshank with contemporary hand-coloring. The folding frontispiece, “Probable Effects of Over Female Emigration,” measures approximately 16.5 × 41 cm. Cruikshank imagines British men importing brides from the Pacific after English women have emigrated to Australia. Accompanied by an article on the same subject, the scene combines satire on marriage and emigration with the racial caricature of the period, giving the annual particular interest for collections of Victorian illustration and women’s history. Contents generally clean and unmarked. Cloth with light rubbing and dulled gilt. A Very Good minus copy of the colored issue of this Victorian annual, retaining its hand-colored folding frontispiece. Reference: Albert M. Cohn, A Bibliographical Catalogue of the Printed Works Illustrated by George Cruikshank (1914), no. 183, pp. 56–57. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover; Illustrated.].…
