The Table Book, 2 volumes
London: Published for William Hone by Hunt and Clarke, 1827-1828. First printing. Hardcover. 2 volumes bound in one, large 8vo, bound in early 20th century half black morocco and blue cloth boards, gilt stamped on spine, stamped "John Dickens & Co., Northampton." Very good, with title pages for both volumes, lightest rubbing to boards, light discoloration and staining to cloth boards, contents very good and crisp, with about 120 wood engravings throughout. Apparently composed while Hone was in debtors' prison; he was a well known satirist, friendly with George Cruikshank, who may have even done some of these illustrations. Very Good. Item #H23019
