Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. Apparently scarce, especially in first edition form as this appears to be. 252 full page drawings from Punch by John Leech, in chronological order dating from 1851-1861, with short notes from Lemon in the bottom margin. Half title, portrait frontispiece of Leech with a facsimile signature…, contents list. Publisher's red blindstamped and gilt lettered cloth, rather stained. Unfortunately there is a water stain which goes almost right through the book, affecting the top corner of all the plates, some hardly at all, most slightly, a few badly (please see images for best and worst). Possibly this stain is what has saved the book from being broken up for plates. John Leech (illustrator).
