Demi-veau havane postérieur, filets dorés, titre et auteur dorés. Édition originale de cet ensemble de 26 lithographies rehaussées en couleurs sous forme de médaillon dont la première sur la couverture, la seconde sur la page de titre. Charles Bennett joue entre une scène au premier plan et l'ombre projetée par celle-ci en arrière plan. Cette ombre révèle une image différente : ivrognes, rabat-joie, gloutons, imbéciles et autres petits monstres.Initialement publiées sous forme de dessins individuels pour le magazine Illustrated Times du libraire David Bogue de Fleet Street, les caricatures de Bennett furent réimprimées dans de nombreuses éditions augmentées, populaires grâce à un procédé simple et ingénieux inspiré de la lanterne magique : l'ombre projetée par une personne éclairée peut révéler sa véritable nature.Charles Henry Bennett est considéré comme l'un des pionniers de l'illustration humoristique. On retrouve ses illustrations et caricatures pleines d'esprit dans Punch, The Comic Times et d'autres périodiques populaires des années 1850 et 1860. Quelques rousseurs, une mouillure angulaire sur un feuillet.
