London: Chatto & Windus, Piccadilly, [ca. 1872]. Two vols. Thick 8vo. [6], 388; [4], 428 pp. Woodcut-engraved frontispieces (1 large folding), over 100 plates (many large folding), numerous woodcut text engravings. Late 19th-century half-morocco over blue marbled boards by Riviere, raised bands, gilt ruling on spine, marbled endpapers, t.e.g. (very minor rubbing, very minor wear to lower fore-edges, and slight bumping to corners), still an excellent set from the library of William Thirlwall Bayne (1838-1917), Cambridge Trinity Alum, Barrister on the South-Eastern Circuit, later gentleman farmer at Brookhill, armorial bookplates on front pastedowns. A beautiful Victorian edition of this compilation compiled by Cruikshank from 1835-1848, before Horace Mayhew took over. Cruikshank served as the principle illustrator which exposed all the manners and customs of Londoners to humorous satires and pithy designs which proved very popular. Cruikshank (1792-1878) is perhaps best known for his many illustrations in assorted works of Charles Dickens.
