Hardcover. pp. 193, [1]. Square 4to. Publisher's quarter maroon cloth over charming illustrated boards, gilt lettering to the spine. Replete with dozens of critical, and humorous captioned caricatures / sketches of the early 20th century British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George (1863-1945). Quite well-preserved in consideration of its age. Extremities show light bumping to the spine ends, rubbing and light edgewear to the boards, a touch of foxing (strictly confined to the half-title page), otherwise, the contents remain overwhelmingly without blemish with bright, clean, and unmarked pages, and firm, sound binding. Overall, very good. "Not everyone, happily, accepts the cynical aphorism "Call no man happy until he is dead"; but "Call no man famous until he has figured in a Punch cartoon" is a statement to which most of us would be prepared to subscribe." (From the Introduction by W. Algernon Locker).
