FIRST EDITION, HANDCOLOURED PLATES BY JOHN LEECH. A nineteenth century comic classic that centres on the adventures of John Jorrocks, an eccentric grocer turned Master of Fox Hounds. Coloured steel engravings and woodcuts by the renowned Victorian book illustrator, John Leech, enliven this edition. It originally appeared in serial form in monthly parts (also in The New Sporting Magazine) between March 1838 and August 1839, and was then published in its entirety in three volumes by Henry Colburn in 1843. That unillustrated version was greatly improved upon with the addition of plates and illustrations by John Leech as found here.
