The Dictionary of 19th-Century British Book Illustrators and Caricaturists - Hardcover, 1996

A scholarly and beautifully produced 1996 hardcover reference covering the artists who defined an era of British publishing. Across 367 pages, this dictionary catalogs the illustrators and caricaturists whose pen-and-ink work filled 19th-century books, periodicals, and satirical journals — an essential desk companion for collectors, dealers, and researchers.

The copy is in excellent, like-new condition with a single previous owner: tight binding, bright pages, and a clean text block, with the dust jacket protected and presenting well. As with many volumes from this children's book and illustration collection, there may be a small name sticker on an inside page; most titles were collected rather than read.

From an extensive home library built over three generations of bibliophiles. Only one copy available. Every book is re-screened before shipping, and combined shipping is offered on multiple purchases.
