First edition of an almost complete set in a stunning signed binding. - George Cruikshank's Comic Almanack was the most important of a number of comic almanacks of the late Regency period which parodied and subverted the popular almanack genre to poke fun at their educational aspirations and at society at large. The almanac is illustrated throughout with caricatures by Cruikshank, with his usual satirical flair and comic wit on full display. - Without volume 1850/1851, volume 1848/49 as often smaller, all uniformely bound in same sicze. - Besides the missing volume, still a desireable set in a beautiful binding in almost perfect condition. - MORAL: Wile we venerate what is deserving of veneration, let us not forgetm that quacjery, knavery, bigotry, and superstition, always merit exposure and castigation.
