Item description from seller

2 Volumes bound in 1. oblong folio. [ff. 42]. 40 plates. title in red & black. contemporary half roan, all edges gilt (extremities rubbed, some foxing generally light, Plate 39 misbound, several tears mostly to margins - some with old repairs). First Edition. "During 1849 he[Doyle] contributed to 'Punch' one of his best works, the Manners and Customs., a series of designs in conventional outline, cleverly annotated by Percival Leigh under the guise of 'Mr. Pips'.In these pages, often closely crowded with minute figures, and admirable in their archly exaggerated drollery, we seem to live again in the England of Lablache and Jenny Lind, of Julien's concerts and Richardson's show, of 'Sam Hall' and the Cider Cellers, of cricketeers in stove-pipe hats, and a hundred things which have gone the way of 'last year's snows'. (DNB) The English customs and manners featured here include dancing and polka, strolling in Hyde Park, railway shareholders' meeting, Criminal Court proceedings, Regent Street at four o'clock, deer stalking in the Highlands, wine tasting, horse-racing at Epsom Downs, the Thames regatta race, &c.
