  • Used

London: Bradbury, Evans, & Co, 1866. First edition. Remains of a paper wrapper have preservd the binding in nearly pristine condition. First edition. xx, 190 p., 10 p. ads. Illustrated by Charles Keene with color-printed frontispiece, wood-engraved t.p. vignette, 37 wood-engraved initials, and 22 wood-engraved vignettes. Text printed on light green paper. Bound by Root & Son in full tan smooth calf with marbled endpapers, a.e.g., the spine with gilt title labels in maroon and black, with elaborate gilt panel ornaments. Original cloth covers bound in rear. "Jerrold tempered his usually acerbic view of Victorian society when he wrote these lively studies of female domination for Punch, thus providing Keene with a congenial text twenty years later. The frontispiece is a fine example of Victorian color printing." (Ray. The Illustrator and the Book in England from 1790 to 1914. No. 188.)

"Keene's drawings have an additional value rare at any time, but especially during the 'sixties: like Bewick, and Daumier, Keene drew ordinary people in ordinary life." (Ruari LcLean. Victorian Book Design & Colour Printing. p. 164.).

Description:
London: Bradbury and Evans, 1866. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 8" by 6.5". Unamed. A splendid first edition of Jerrod's comic and satirical Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures. First edition. Douglas William Jerrold (1803 ? 1857) was an English dramatist and writer. Jerrold wrote for numerous periodicals, and gradually became a contributor to the Monthly Magazine, Blackwood's, the New Monthly, and the Athenaeum. To Punch, the publication which of all others is associated with his name, he contributed from its second number in 1841 until within a few days of his death. Punch was a humorous and liberal publication. Jerrold's liberal and radical perspective was portrayed in the magazine under the pseudonym 'Q', which used satire to attack institutions of the day. Punch was also the forum in which he published in the 1840s his comic series Mrs Caudle's Curtain Lectures, which was later published in book form. Illustrated throughout by Charles Keene. Charles Samuel Keene (1823? 1891) was an English… Read More
