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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is the Second Edition of Everitt’s extensive history, retaining its striking original pictorial cloth binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfusely 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraham Everitt’s \u003ci\u003eEnglish Caricaturists and Graphic Humourists of the Nineteenth Century\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54577787208019,"sku":"5082","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260811_105942.jpg?v=1786623657","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/english-caricaturists-and-graphic-humourists-of-the-nineteenth-century-graham-everitt","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
