Beschreibung
First book edition of this humorous tale of the romantic (mis)adventures of two generations of the Pringle family, an ambitious clan with a love of hunting with Leech's beautiful hand-colored plates. Robert Smith Surtees, though somewhat obscure today, was a cutting-edge humorist of the mid-to-late 19th century. William Morris "placed Surtees in the same rank with Dickens as a master of life" (Mackail, 227), and together with caricaturist John Leech, Surtees put out several heavily-illustrated character-driven novels. 8.75'' x 5.5''. Publisher's rose pictorial cloth boards. Illustrated with 13 hand-colored engravings and numerous black-and-white woodcuts. xii, 412 pages, a couple gatherings unopened. Binding spine and board edges lightly sunned, lower front joint starting about 1.5'' (still firm); a bit of chipping to spine ends. Clean. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 35817
