[CARICATURES]. THE LOOKING GLASS OR CARICATURE ANNUAL. 1831. VOL. 2.
London: Thos. McLean, 1831. First Edition. Folio (11" x 16") in period
1/2 crimson morocco leather over cloth boards. Pictorial title, preface,
and 48 pages of hand-colored lithographed plates. The first volume (of
7) of McLean's monthly caricature magazine, sending up most aspects of
British life and society. The caricatures, after William Heath and
Robert Seymour, depict and comment on British politicians, European
monarchs, and other notable people and spoof eating habits, fashion,
lawyers, art and theatre, laws and reforms, Irish affairs, sports, and
more. Title partially detached but holding, contents with some general
light soiling and handling with a few instances of foxing and several
very discreet repairs including to two long closed tears (the others
primarily marginal). Binding rubbed along the hinges with some mild
cracking. Very Good. (#018472) $1,500.00
