pp. 432 + 8 [Publisher's Advertisements] + Eight plates; and over 40 charming woodcut text illustrations by Cruikshank. Foxed. 8vo. 215 mm. Original leather backed boards binding, worn. A collection of humorous and satirical short stories with West Country, Irish and legal settings (the 'Three Courses') together with a more miscellaneous selection (the 'Dessert'). The book makes wonderfully entertaining reading, and the illustrations are frequently quite delightful. Though the author is un-named, he was readily identifiable in early 19th century England. William Clarke (1800-1838), was also the author of `The Boys' Own Book' and other various works of light literature, which obtained a considerable measure of popularity. He also brought out a humorous periodical, called `The Cigar' and he was for some time editor of the `Monthly Magazine' For the last three or four years of his life he devoted himself to an elaborate work on natural history. This does not appear to have been published, nor are any of his other writings extant. While working in his garden, near his house near Hampstead, he died of an apoplectic fit. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

pp. 47, (1) + Ten etched plates. Top edge gold gilt. Half morocco leather over marbled boards binding. Front board recently detached. 8vo. Apparently the second part of two., with 10 of the twenty etched plates. A famous Victorian satirical work, illustrated by Cruikshank. First Edition. Cohn 176. George Cruikshank (1792-1878) was a humorist of the school of Hogarth, and is considered by some to be one of the best that Britain has produced. He was the son of a Scottish painter, Isaac Cruikshank, and apparently his talent was such that he could draw as soon as he could write. From the beginning he was concerned with satire. At a young age he achieved public notice by painting theatre backdrops (the first was for Drury Lane Theatre, London). In the early 1820s he made etchings for the pamphleteer William Hone, but his political caricature work was soon overtaken by his work as a book illustrator. Life in London (1821) was followed by Tales of Irish Life (1824), and then a series of further books at an ever increasing rate. His best known work was for Charles Dickens, starting with Sketches by Boz and reaching its zenith, perhaps, with Oliver Twist. Among his large number of other illustrated books were a Grimm's Fairy Tales (1827), a Pilgrim's Progress and Paradise Lost, and seven novels by Harrison Ainsworth. Despite his large oeuvre, more than 15,000 drawings in his lifetime, Cruikshank was never well off. He required financial assistance from friends in 1866 (led by Ruskin), and late in life relied on a modest pension from the civil list and a Turner annuity from the Academy. **PRICE JUST REDUCED SW3
Very Good English Original hand-coloured engraved plate. Slightly chipped on paper. Edges gilt. Large 4to. (37 x 27 cm). With its separate sheet of descriptive bilingual text in English and French. An attractive, richly colored and detailed engraved image. Very good, bright. An original plate from Dalvimart's famous and extremely rare work 'The costume of Turkey', first edition in 1802. Little is known about Octavien Dalvimart, besides the facts that he worked in Britain as painter and engraver, and that he was living in Paris in 1803. According to the prologue to this edition, he travelled during four years (starting in 1796), always drew from nature, and was in Athens in 1797. This elegant work was first published in 1802, and again in 1818 and 1820. It includes 60 drawings of human types from the Ottoman Empire. (Abbey Travel 370; Colas 782; Lipperheide 1422). The explanatory texts, in English and French, are based on extracts from works by Baron de Tott, J. Dallaway, G.A. Olivier, M. Montague, J. Pitton de Tournefort, ?ouradgea d'Ohsson and others. Dalvimart's drawings have been used in similar albums and illustrated other travel accounts. Human types are precisely drawn and handsomely depicted in very real colors. "This may be considered as the companion of the last plat. The dress, though not elegant, is not uninteresting. The Arabian women of the desert wear a number singular ornaments; large metal rings in the ears, others of the same kind upon the ancles and arms, pieces of coral hung about hem, and also necklaces of all sorts. They sometimes even hang small bells to their hair, and the young girls fix them to their feet. And it is not an uncommon custom among the Bedouins, as with the more civilized Arabians, to puncture different parts of the body and insert a blue dye.". etc.

"No dress can possibly be better calculated to conceal the person, than that worn by the Turkish females, both in Constantinople and the country, whenever appear abroad. No woman is ever seen without her maharmah, which is generally formed of muslin; one part of which fastens under the chin, and encloses the head, the other crosses the mouth and nose, and admits only space enough to see from. They also constantly wear a feredje, which entirely envelops their whole person". = "Il n'est pas d'habillemet mieux invente pour se cacher, que celui que portent les femmes Turques, lorsqu'elles proîssen dans les rues de Constantinople, ou dans le campagne. On ne vot jamais de femme sans son maharmah, qui est ordinairement fait de mousseline. Une partie s'aatche sous le menton, et enveloppe le tête; l'autre traverse la bouche et le nez, et laisse a peine assez d'espace pour y voir. Elles portent aussi un feredje, dont elles s'enveloppent entierement".
