John Leech's Pictures of Life and Character from the Collection of Mr. Punch [1842-1864]. Punch [1842-1864]. Volume 3 [this volume only].

Sm. folio, First Edition, with series title and title in red and black, and very numerous fine cartoons and caricatures throughout; original red coarse-grained cloth, upper board with multiple frame border enclosing four cardinal rosettes all in blind, the whole containing an elaborate floral wreath with title lettered all in gilt, leather back tooled and lettered in gilt, marbled edges, yellow endpapers, a remarkably, bright, clean copy in splendid period binding. Lovely copy in wholly unrestored contemporary binding of the third and final volume of Leech's well-known trilogy of illustrations from the 'Punch' archives. Scarce in anything like this condition.
