Sobre este artículo
London: Bradbury and Evans, 1858. Book. Illus. by John Leech 13 Hand Colored Plates, Plus 70 Text Wood Engravings. Very Good. 3/4 Leather. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Bound in 19th Century 3/4 brown calf, with black cloth boards, gilt band lines and title on the spine. Some edge wear, mostly at the corners, but solid at the hinges and clean. Inside, no foxing or browning, but occasionally some age toning. Pages (xii, 412). Notable for the handcolored, satiric engravings of John Leech (1817-1864) who produced cartoons for Punch humor magazine for 20 years, illustrated Dickens Christmas Carol, as well as several novels for Surtees. Surtees, unlike Dickens, wrote mannered stories of upper class English life in the country, especially hunting and horseback riding. A very nice copy..
