Description
Illustrated, Leather Binding
A lavishly illustrated, leather bound edition of Robert Smith Surtees’ humorous novel, following the vulgar but good-natured sporting cockney grocer, Jorrocks. Robert Smith Surtees (17 May 1805 – 16 March 1864) was an English editor, novelist and sporting writer, known most notably for his works featuring Jorrocks. Wonderfully illustrated by John Leech. Undated, dated using Jisc from a copy held at the University of Aberdeen Libraries.
