In-8°, pp. 235, 24 tavv. incise in rame e colorate a mano protette da velina di Cruikshank, legatura coeva in piena pelle color nocciola, dorso liscio, titolo su tassello e fregi in oro. Restauri alla cerniera superiore. Lievi bruniture al testo ma le tavole sono fresche e in bella coloritura dell'epoca. L'opera e le tavole descrivono i vari caratteri, costumi e maniere degli inglesi, questa divertente esplorazione degli alti e bassi della società londinese è un adattamento fedele del popolarissimo Life in London di Pierce Egan. Il volume esplora la storia di Egan di Tom, Jerry e Logic, un gruppo di amici le cui disavventure li portano dai quartieri più alla moda di Londra ai bassifondi più poveri. Le meravigliose illustrazioni mostrano il trio prendere parte a ogni sorta di malizia e allegria, tra cui partecipare a un ballo in maschera, socializzare nell'atrio affollato di un teatro, visitare un sarto su misura, prendere lezioni di boxe, fare baldoria in una chiassosa birreria e, forse inevitabilmente, comparire davanti a un poliziotto. Vicaire III, 564.

An excellent copy with great provenance. "By finding the right men [the Cruikshanks] for his work [Egan] made Life In London one the great successes of the day, comparable to that other triumphant alliance of humour and art in the pages of Dr Syntax" (Prideaux). "A journalist, and a well-known character in his day, [Pierce Egan] wrote nothing so popular as this Life in London. Indeed, the taste for it amounted to a craze. For his illustrations, Egan went to two brothers, Isaac Robert and George Cruikshank.the success of the work was so great that the artists could not colour the engravings fast enough for the demand. It suited the taste of the time, when a â fast' life had become a sophisticated and conscious aim. Life in London is a guide to a fast life. Part of the success enjoyed by [Pierce Egan's Life in London] was due, no doubt, to its readers' belief that they could name the originals of the fictitious characters. Imitations came swift and frequent." (The Cambridge History of English and American Literature ). Cohn 263.

With some woodengr. in text. "Described as "a faithful Portraiture of High & Low Life" from the West End to the East End, Pierce Egan's comical monthly publication Life in London was one of the popular sensations of its day. The central characters - Tom, Jerry and Logic - were well-heeled young men about town, keen to see "a bit of life" in the poorer districts of London. Their escapades and misadventures were largely autobiographical, being drawn from the lives of Egan himself and his illustrators, George and Robert Cruikshank [.]. As a result of the success of Life in London, the names Tom and Jerry became proverbial for young men causing disorder, though there is no solid evidence to suggest that they influenced the creation of the cartoon cat and mouse duo of same name."
