Beschreibung

One of A Beckett's most famous works, this is a lively history of England told in a style that was highly unusual at its times of publication. With copious illustrations throughout by John Leech, including twenty coloured plates (collated complete). Gilbert Abbott à Beckett (1811 1856) was an English humorist, and contributor to Punch magazine. He is perhaps best known as the author of Comic History of England, Comic History of Rome, Comic Blackstone, and other comic works. Two volumes bound in one. In a green cloth binding with gilt decoration. Externally sound, with a little rubbing and wear to the head and tail of the spine. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages have some scattered light spotting. Very Good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GEN22-E-1
