English Caricaturists and Graphic Humourists of the Nineteenth Century, Graham Everitt — Second Edition

Publication: London, Swan Sonnenschein & Co., 1893

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 427.

Condition Report: Good. The binding remains structurally sound and tight, indicating the book has not been subjected to heavy reading wear; however, the original blue cloth boards present significant cosmetic flaws. There is pronounced white mottling and damp-staining across both the upper and lower boards, heavily affecting the cloth over the joints and spine, which also exhibits mild rubbing to the head and tail. Despite this exterior weathering, the gilt pictorial tooling and lettering, most notably the figure of "Gruffanuff" on the spine, remain relatively bright and unoxidised. Internally, the text block is pleasingly clean and square, with only standard age-toning to the page edges and minor, scattered spotting primarily confined to the preliminary leaves.

Catalogue Note: This is the Second Edition of Everitt’s extensive history, retaining its striking original pictorial cloth binding.

Profusely illustrated throughout with full-page and in-text reproductions of historical engravings, it serves as a vital contemporary survey of 19th-century British satire. The front cover and spine exhibit elaborate gilt-stamped caricatures that capture the essence of the work within.

This 1893 second edition is relatively uncommon on the open market, particularly in its original binding. While the cosmetic blemishes to the cloth are notable, the internal integrity makes this a highly solid working or reference copy.

Graham Everitt’s English Caricaturists and Graphic Humourists of the Nineteenth Century offers a fascinating, in-depth exploration of the artists who shaped Victorian visual satire. Moving from the time of the first Napoleon through to the death of John Leech in 1864, the book examines the lives, styles, and societal impacts of legendary figures such as James Gillray, Thomas Rowlandson, and George Cruikshank. Through rich commentary and a wealth of illustrations, Everitt not only catalogues their artistic merits but illuminates the political and social events of the century as seen through the sharp, often unforgiving lens of the era's greatest visual satirists.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.
Condition Description
New A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
