Description:
1925. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. Scrapbook containing 35 original cartoons about a woman, apparently a Broadway actress (named Leila Hill?) in the hospital. Likely made to cheer her, it pokes fun at doctors and the medical establishment and portrays her as long suffering, funny and vital. The cartoons are all ca. 6" x 6" and mounted to black construction paper, save for one folding panel which is wider. Wear to the one folding cartoon, a few coming loose from the page, light chipping to a couple of edges, but otherwise in very good condition. Clearly the work of a professional cartoonist, the artist's name is not present. The first folding sheet is on the back of The Fowler Hotel stationary with the name of the manager who was active in the 1920s and the imagery is consistent with a ca. 1920s date. Size: Octavo (8vo). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Humour; Comics & Graphic Novels. Inventory No: 045452.

Description:
Germany: Karl August Böttiger, 1803. Sheet. Very Good Condition. From the magazine London und Paris, Plate No. XIX. XX. A redone continental version of Gillray's famous engraving "The corsican pest" with Napoleon on a fork over the fire defecating - here replaced by the Gallic cock. Beelzebub is shown as a racist African caricature in a Phrygian cap. Dishes of "crocodile soup" "Mahomedan gravy", "favourite Frecnh wine" shown on the right, the imps serve frogs and snakes and the English army hangs in the background. Sheets of paper litter the floor "Invasion of Great Britain", "treachery", "murder" etc. Most of the elements of the print are labeled - Gillray (rightly, I think) believing his allegory to be generally opaque. ca. 14 1/2" x 11", slight foxing, wear at corners. Size: Folio. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Cooking, Wine & Dining; Humour. Inventory No: CAT000651.
