Description
London: Sherwood, Jones And Co, 1826. First Edition. Full Morocco. Very Good Minua. Cruikshank, Robert. With publisher's advertisements in the back of each volume. We believe this is not commonly found in copies of this work's first edition. 8vo. 24 by 15 cm. xxiii, [3], [7], xv, [1], 399, [7] pp. 72 handcolored aquatint plates by Robert Cruikshank, except 2 by Thomas Rowlandson and 1 other by Wageman and Brightly). Also many woodcut textual illustrations and one full page woodcut at beginning of tale. The full morocco binding has gilt ruling, and gilt turn-ins with a repeat fleur-de-lys pattern. The binding has typical rubbing along the joints, and two boards with areas of light soiling. Vol. 1's spine head has light chewing. Foxing and soiling affecting a good number of plates and the text leaves adjacent. Generally speaking, the text is mostly clean and cleaner than the plate leaves.
