    Description

    Colour Plates, Early Edition, Leather Binding

    Robert Smith Surtees (1805-1864) was an English editor and novelist, most widely known for the cockney character of Jorrocks.

    Illustrated with thirteen hand coloured plates by John Leech, as well as in-text illustrations. Collated, complete.
    In a beautiful binding by Hatchards of Piccadilly.

    A smart example of Surtees' novel.

    Condition

    In a quarter crushed morocco binding. Externally lovely, with just a little bumping to the extremities. Internally, generally firmly bound; front hinge is strained and exposed at the title page. Pages are a little spotted and offset opposite plates.

    Very Good
