    Description

    Colour Plates, Illustrated, Leather Binding, Scarce

    Three volumes bound in one, all illustrated by Phil May.

    Phil May was an important caricaturist of the Victorian era; he played a large role in the artistic styles moving away form the traditional Victorian styles towards the modern humorous cartoon.

    These three works showcase May's entertaining work, paired with humorous written pieces that exemplify Victorian satire.

    'Grien on Rougemont', a scarce work, published in 1898, this work is a 'Modern Robinson Crusoe'. Colourful front wrap bound in, with illustrations throughout. This work includes 'The de Rougemont Pantomime'.
