Included are a few loose clippings of Cruikshank's, including a title leaf from issue 1 of the serial of the Omnibus. 250 by 160mm (9¾ by 6¼ inches). Vi, 300 pp. 16 page publisher's catalogue tipped into rear. Enclosed is a C1970 booksellers card-index entry and a sterling price. Barham, (Ingoldsby) died 1845. This work was published (and presumably inscribed) just before publication of the Ingoldsby Legends. The two author's greatly admired each others work. George Cruikshank (1792–1878) was among the foremost British caricaturists and illustrators of the nineteenth century, widely celebrated as the "modern Hogarth" for the biting wit and moral insight of his art. Over a long and industrious career he executed more than ten thousand designs, ranging from political and social satires to illustrations for leading writers of his day. His spirited draughtsmanship and acute observation left an enduring imprint on Victorian visual culture, exposing with equal skill the follies of public life and the darker habits of the age, notably the evils of intemperance.

    . Signé par Cruikshank avec une dédicace à R.H. Barham, l'auteur des Légendes d'Ingoldsby (sous le pseudonyme de Thomas Ingoldsby). Reliure originale en buckram avec titres et motifs dorés sur le plat avant. Pages de garde jaunes. Ex-libris armorial de Lord Vernon (député et partisan du projet de loi de réforme de 1832) sur la page de garde avant. La signature de Cruikshank se trouve sur une page blanche entre la page de garde et le demi-titre (probablement insérée). Au verso de cette page est collée une publicité pour le livre Table de Cruikshank. Le reste du livre est en bon état, propre, sans défauts significatifs. Quelques coupures de presse de Cruikshank sont incluses, notamment une page de titre du numéro 1 de la série Omnibus. 250 x 160 mm (9¾ x 6¼ pouces). Vi, 300 pp. Catalogue de l'éditeur de 16 pages collé à la fin. Une fiche de libraire datant de 1970 et indiquant un prix en livres sterling est jointe. Barham (Ingoldsby) est décédé en 1845. Cet ouvrage a été publié (et probablement dédicacé) juste avant la publication des Légendes d'Ingoldsby. Les deux auteurs admiraient beaucoup le travail l'un de l'autre.
