The ABC (printed 1897. first edition) has dark red illustrated title / covers. Bookseller sticker to the verso of the title. Unpaginated but 52 pages printed to recto only (the alphabet and then the letters imposed over the image). 7 pages of publisher's adverts to the rear. Red back cover. Gutter-snipes (1896 first edition) has the light brown covers, with bookseller label to recto. 54 pages printed to the recto only. five pages of adverts to the rear. Final light brown cover (with a little marking). From the bookseller label in each volume, we assume that these are two first editions bound up privately by a previous owner. Both in very good, if fractionally darkened condition. 270 by 220mm (10¾ by 8¾ inches).
. Deux volumes de caricatures de May reliés en un seul ouvrage. Dos en buckram vert foncé avec titres dorés. Quelques légères éraflures et une petite perte au niveau du bord du dos. Couvertures en papier bleu. Les couvertures sont quelque peu défraîchies. Dans l'ensemble, l'ouvrage est toutefois en bon état. À l'intérieur se trouvent les deux volumes, conservant chacun leur couverture d'origine. L'ABC (imprimé en 1897, première édition) présente une couverture illustrée de couleur rouge foncé. Autocollant du libraire au verso de la page de titre. Non paginé, mais 52 pages imprimées au recto uniquement (l'alphabet puis les lettres superposées à l'image). 7 pages de publicités de l'éditeur à la fin. Quatrième de couverture rouge. *Gutter-snipes* (première édition de 1896) présente des couvertures marron clair, avec une étiquette de libraire au recto. 54 pages imprimées au recto uniquement. Cinq pages de publicités à la fin. Couverture finale marron clair (présentant une petite marque). D'après l'étiquette du libraire présente dans chaque volume, nous supposons qu'il s'agit de deux premières éditions reliées à titre privé par un ancien propriétaire. Toutes deux en très bon état, bien qu'un peu jaunies. 270 × 220 mm (10¾ × 8¾ pouces).
