About this Item

(10534) HEAVY Hardback. Overseas buyers will require extra postage. 297 pages. 26 full page engravings. Fine in sage green cloth with gilt lettering on front board and to spine, in a fair unclipped d.w. showing wear to top and bottom of spine with pieces missing. No markings or inscriptions. Georg Christof Lichtenberg, a German professor of physics, shared with Hogarth and inexhaustible interest in human nature, especially as exhibited in its less exalted specimens. On his two visits to England in 1770-1771 and 1774-1775 it was the raucous colour and vigor of the teeming London streets that held him facinated - the same crowds which had served as models for Hogarth's famous engravings. A tight clean copy.
