Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
This early reprint of one of W.S.Gilbert's Bab Ballards, a collection of light verses, is comically illustrated and written by Gilbert who was an English dramatist, poet and illustrator.
These Bab Ballards became famous for their cynicism and satire and became sources for the Gilbert and Sullivan Operas.
The book includes a beautifully illustrated frontispiece, embedded illustrations throughout and two pages of Publisher's adverts.
