Chatto & Windus, Lodon, [c.1873], 4to. Many full page plates, illustrations, bookplate on verso of front cover, original decorated cloth, pictorial gilt, slightly rubbed, faded, some writing in ink verso front endpaper. Gillray’s incomparable wit and humour, knowledge of life, fertility of resource, keen sense of the ludicrous, and beauty of execution, at once gave him the first place among caricaturists. He is honourably distinguished in the history of caricature by the fact that his sketches are real works of art. This is the original London edition, a lovely and important work with over 400 illustrations and lovely original pictorial cover and spine profusely gilt. E-mail for pictures.
