1835 Cruikshank ART 1^ed Comic Almanack Caricature Illustrated Etchings Humor

George Cruikshank was one of England’s best and most notable 19^th-century caricaturists and book illustrators. The ‘Comic Almanack’ is a collection of 19^th-century tales, humorous stories and essays, and poems etched by Cruikshank. While each edition of the ‘Comic Almanack’ includes the works of famed authors, it was the artwork and comedic mind of Cruikshank that brought it its lasting popularity and fame.

“In 1835 Cruikshank issued the first number of the ‘Comic Almanack,’ with a dozen ‘right merrie’ cuts (etchings) ‘pertaining to the months’ by himself, and a few minor embellishments.” (DNB).

This exquisite two-volume set of the ‘Comic Almanac’ includes issues from 1835 through 1853 in two beautiful green-leather tomes. This is the sort of set that collectors are always excited to display!
