Author: LEECH, John
Title: John Leech's Pictures of Life and Character from the Collection of 'Mr. Punch'
Description: London, Bradbury, Agnew, & Co, 1887. Hardcover. pp. 284, 276, 268. Very large 4to. The complete set of three volumes, bound as one in black three-quarter leather over greyish cloth. This is not a recent re-bind, but it is not contemporary: it appears to have been done about 50 years ago, and competently done at that, with the spine in compartments, showing five blind-stamped florettes and gilt lettering. The binding is still in quite good condition, showing only moderate wear. The contents are tightly-bound and in very good condition with only the odd bit of marginal smudging. This is a large, heavy, book and it might be best to enquire, first, as to costs and options to ship. Taken from issues of 'Punch' magazine published between 1842 to 1864. Ill.: black-&-white illustrations.
