and 7 etched plates by George Cruikshank after sketches by the author. 
With Cruikshank's AUTOGRAPH pasted to the verso of the half-title page 
opposite the title page. Blackmer 56: "A very interesting account of 
several months' visit, written in a lively style. Nothing seems too 
trivial for the author's notice; he gives detailed descriptions of 
costume and of all sorts of manufactures including jewellery, silks, 
perfumes etc." Some spotting to the plates, less so than what seems 
typical for this title; the text clean. Light edgewear. Very Good to 
Near Fine. (#020356)        $500
