About This Item

London: NA, 1865. 32 original ink drawings in the style of Punch and Judy by one H. Abbot. There are 15 numbered illustrations, with a title to each. These feature Mr Punch on his visits to Pompei, on his arab steed etc. They are finely drawn on card and tipped into the album. They are reminiscent of Callot's work. These are followed by a further 7 illustrations on diverse subjects. These are very good copies of works by other artists. A couple by Thomas Hood (from the Comic Annual of 1836), and a copy of John Tenniel's "Erin's little difficulty" a Punch cartoon from 1865 about the raiding of a Fenian newspaper. Then comes "Attitudes for Exits from the Stage" with 8 small illustrations with quotations(seemingly from Shakespeare). We have not been able to identify any originals for these. Finally are three further illustrations. A number of the illustrations show the tale of Bobby taking tea with a servant girl, and a jealous maid telling Mr Brigg's (her master) of this, to the inevitable eviction of Bobby! We have been unable to identify this series, and we believe them to be an original sequence. To the end is a page with a title for Aesop's fables, and evidence of three tipped in images being removed - but these are not present. A nice collection of original illustrations. 70 by 120mm (2¾ by 4¾ inches). The small pocket book is clean and tidy, with a little rubbing to the edges. The binding is a little tired, the front end paper has been reinforced, and some other pages would benefit from reinforcement. Overall a nice item. Slight darkening / foxing throughout. . 32 dessins originaux à l'encre dans le style de Punch and Judy par H. Abbot. Il y a 15 illustrations numérotées, avec un titre pour chacune d'entre elles. Elles représentent M. Punch lors de ses visites à Pompéi, sur son cheval arabe, etc. Elles sont finement dessinées sur carte et insérées dans l'album. Elles rappellent le travail de Callot. Elles sont suivies de 7 autres illustrations sur des sujets divers. Il s'agit de très bonnes copies d'œuvres d'autres artistes. Deux illustrations de Thomas Hood (tirées du Comic Annual de 1836) et une copie de "Erin's little difficulty" de John Tenniel, une caricature de Punch datant de 1865 sur le pillage d'un journal fenian. Vient ensuite "Attitudes for Exits from the Stage", avec 8 petites illustrations accompagnées de citations (apparemment de Shakespeare). Nous n'avons pas pu identifier d'originaux pour ces illustrations. Enfin, il y a trois autres illustrations. Un certain nombre d'entre elles illustrent l'histoire de Bobby prenant le thé avec une servante, et d'une servante jalouse qui en parle à M. Brigg's (son maître), jusqu'à l'inévitable expulsion de Bobby ! Nous n'avons pas été en mesure d'identifier cette série et nous pensons qu'il s'agit d'une séquence originale. A la fin de l'ouvrage se trouve une page avec un titre pour les fables d'Esope, et la preuve que trois images collées ont été enlevées - mais elles ne sont pas présentes. Une belle collection d'illustrations originales. 70 x 120 mm (2¾ x 4¾ pouces). Le petit livre de poche est propre et bien rangé, avec un peu de frottement sur les bords. La reliure est un peu fatiguée, la première page de garde a été renforcée, et quelques autres pages bénéficieraient d'un renforcement. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'un bel objet. Légères rousseurs sur l'ensemble de l'ouvrage.
