1840148887London: Henry Hooper 1840. First edition of this essay highlighting George Cruikshank’s artistic skill and cultural significance in early Victorian Britain. Octavo bound in three-quarters morocco by J. McDonald of New York with gilt titles and tooling to the spine gilt ruling to the front and rear panels gilt stamped facsimile signature of Cruikshank on the front panel all edges gilt marbled endpapers tissue-guarded frontispiece illustrated with 17 tissue-guarded black and white etched plates by George Cruikshank. In near fine condition. An Essay on the Genius of Cruikshank published in The Westminster Review in 1840 is an early critical appraisal of George Cruikshank’s artistic achievements and cultural influence. Written at a time when caricature was often dismissed as ephemeral or merely humorous the essay situates Cruikshank’s work within a broader artistic and moral framework praising his sharp political insight his ability to capture the nuances of everyday life and his growing reputation as a serious illustrator of literature. By highlighting his transition from biting political satire to celebrated book illustration particularly his collaborations with authors such as Charles Dickens the review both legitimizes caricature as a form of social commentary and cements Cruikshank’s position as one of the most significant visual commentators of early Victorian Britain.

Contributors include Ellery Queen "The Two-Headed Dog" a weird mystery story later collected with others in THE ADVENTURES OF ELLERY QUEEN Francis Beeding Stuart Palmer Henry Lacossitt Carl Mattison Chapin his full-length novel THE IMPERFECT TWINS and others. A large format densely illustrated bedsheet-sized pulp. "The fiction emphasized the woman's point of view was often narrated by a woman and featured as many feminine as masculine detectives. In the rear of the magazine flowered all the usual departments of a more conventional woman's publication . That this magazine would publish much fiction of interest seems improbable. But without effort it contrived to be superb. ILLUSTRATED DETECTIVE selected outstanding writers who had made their mark in the 1920s and mingled these with rising writers of the 1930s. Over the years the magazine would publish work by top names in the mystery field including Ellery Queen Stuart Palmer Sax Rohmer Arnold Kummer Hulbert Footner Vincent Starrett and H. Bedford-Jones. The fiction was polished often strongly compressed and good enough for a large amount of it to appear later between book covers. The magazine appeared monthly for almost six years sixty-nine issues at ten cents a copy. After three years the title was changed to THE MYSTERY MAGAZINE . Covers were tasteful bright and uneventful relying heavily on the faces of self-confident women. Inside was an astonishing amount of material: eight to ten pieces of fiction four or more crime-fact articles and up to ten continuing departments about half of these slanted directly toward women. When the magazine was at its peak in the early 1930s it offered material carefully calculated to appeal to most tastes and both sexes . MYSTERY was as meticulously planned as an orchestral score. Its careful variations played upon every shade of reader interest. It was consciously polished self-consciously feminine. A curious pared sound rang in its fiction as if the stories had been edited with a chain saw but the prose flashed with a bright nickel glitter. Slick the magazine may have been and often over illustrated but it was also considerably interesting and for years excellent." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 287-90.
