Hardcover. Condizione: Near fine. First Edition. Quarto size, 212 pp. (not matching pagination, see below), with 12 aquatints by Isaac Robert Cruikshank. A humorous collection of sketches exalting through parody the merits of the thrifty. The writing, although very much a parody, contains many nuggets of truths which illuminate how little the world has changed in the about 200 years since the book's publication: "Money, money alone, though it has been unaccountably neglected by authors, strangers perhaps to its very name, and still more to its practical use and management. . .is the mainspring of all human action, want, wish, and desire." The author goes on to state that it is the desire of "the Save-all Club" to keep "the Kind and Benevolent Reader" out of the grip of poverty through thrift. The "Rules of the Club" provide amusing proof of such virtue: Rule VI, "The smallest superfluous expense is not only a reproach to a member, but he may be fined by the Committee, for the use of the poor"; and Rule IV, "As a new coat never fails to attract animadversion in the Club, the members are requested to avoid that singularity as much as possible. If it prove that the coat is only turned, the owner shall dine that day GRATIS". Isaac Robert Cruikshank (1759-1856) was a popular English caricature artist and cartoonist, and like his brother George, is known for his pioneer work in the history of comics and comic strip cartoons. He collaborated often with George, who is better known for his work with Charles Dickens. This edition was originally issued in boards, and had pp. 39-42, 87-110 and 163-178 omitted, as is the case in this edition (and all known editions) and which is explained in a footnote appearing on p. xvi: "The reader will perceive an hiatus after p. 38, another after p. 86, and a third after p. 162. Some digressions occurred in those places on subjects too abstruse to be generally interesting; they have therefore been withdrawn; but in consequence of a temporary absence of the author, the suppression took place after the work was printed. As the connexion of its parts is not disturbed, it is hoped that the liberty thus taken will be tolerated with indulgence." Additionally, this copy has plate no. 11 bound as the frontis instead of being bound at p. 186. Each plate is marked, "Designed and Etched by I. [which appears as a "J" at this date, in keeping with the Latin tradition] R. Cruikshank," and bears the imprint, "Published by Thomas Boys Ludgate Hill, London Dec. 1 1819." ___DESCRIPTION: Custom bound by Bennett Book Studio, NY (with their binder's stamp on the verso of the front free endpaper), in quarter blue morocco and marbled paper covered boards, backstrip stamped in gilt, top-edge gilt, fore- and tail-edges uncut, engraved title page with the coloured vignette of a three-pronged candlestick (which is thrifty as one can burn a candle down to the base), twelve aquatint plates including frontis; quarto size (10 1/8" by 6 5/8"), pagination: [i] ii-xvi [1] 2-38, 43-86, 111-162, 179-240 pp., first edition. ___CONDITION: A near fine copy, the marbled paper boards clean and unrubbed with only a few, light stray marks, the leather shelfback smooth with a few light spots of rubbing and the gilt bright, straight corners, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean, and the volume is entirely free of prior owner markings; some sunning to the spine, light rubbing to the corners, some of the plates have toned with corresponding offsetting to the opposite text pages, one leaf (pp. 221-222) with the fore-edge bottom corner torn (loss of about an inch, only in the ample margins, with no loss of text); still overall a near fine copy. ___CITATION: Tooley, no 165, this copy without the final advertisement leaf, which "is however usually wanting". ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

See the entries for the Cruikshanks in the Oxford DNB. 1p, landscape 12mo. On 20 x 11.5 cm piece of paper. Somewhat aged and worn, with small pinhole at head, and postage folds; neatly inserted in trimmed windowpane mount. The recipient is not named, the text reading: 'Mr Ryan was suggesting an idea of something come upon the Jewess which is very popular after the manner of Bombastes and also a ballad part of which I leave as a specimen perhaps you will consider of it and let me know / R. Cruikshank'. Although Robert's brother George was responsible for a number of anti-semitic engravings, the reference here to a 'very popular' 'Jewess' is clearly to J. R. Planché's 1835 'grand operatic drama in three acts', 'The Jewess'. 'Bombastes' is a reference to W. B. Rhodes's 1830 'burlesque tragic opera' 'Bombastes Furioso', for the publication of which George Cruikshank had furnished 'eight designs'.…

First Edition. Queen Caroline Sliced And Diced By Satirists' Blade Fifty Devastating Hand-Colored Caricatures Directed Against the British Monarchy CRUIKSHANK, George, illustrator. CRUIKSHANK, I.R., illustrator. LANE, Theodore, illustrator. The Attorney-General's Charges Against The Late Queen, brought forward in the House of Peers, on Saturday, August 19, 1820. Illustrated with Fifty Coloured Engravings. London: G. Humphrey, [1821]. First edition. Folio (18 13/16 x 13 inches; 478 x 330 mm.). [2, title, imprint on verso]. 20 pp. by Robert Gifford, Attorney-General. Hand colored frontispiece and forty-nine hand colored etched plates, the majority being by Theodore Lane. Six of the plates are by George Cruikshank; one is after George Cruikshank; three are by Isaac Robert Cruikshank. All plates with interleaves. The text & plates are watermarked "J. Whatman 1821" Handsomely bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe ca. 1960 in three-quarter dark blue morocco over marbled boards ruled in gilt. Spine with five raised bands elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. A fine well margined copy, of this series of devastating caricatures directed against the British monarchy, including the republication of the charges brought by the Attorney-General, Robert, Baron Gifford (1779-1826), against Queen Caroline and in support of the Pains and Penalties Bill of 1820 by which George IV, who had only just inherited the throne in 1820 and who hated his wife sought to remove her title and dissolve their marriage. The volume begins with a view of Humphrey's shop-window where 42 of these prints are on view. The focus of these caricatures is Caroline of Brunswick (1768-1821) and her alleged affair with Bartolommeo Bergami. She renamed him Pergami (as being more aristocratic) and appointed him Grand Master of the Order of St Caroline. Queen Caroline, on the whole, elicited a great deal of public support and as a result the Bill had to be subsequently abandoned. However, the following year, in July 1821, Caroline was barred from the coronation, fell ill, and died three weeks later. After the fall of Napoleon in 1815, George Cruikshank's attention was largely turned towards highlighting the decadence of Britain's Regency monarchy which was epitomised by George IV while still the Prince Regent. In this collection six of the plates are by George or Isaac Robert Cruikshank or both, the remainder are by Theodore Lane (1800-1828), a painter and engraver who frequently worked on sporting material, especially in partnership with Pierce Egan. It was after this period that George Cruikshank became progressively more sober and serious. This scarce collection of caricatures sharply lampooning Queen Caroline to delightfully deadly effect is not found in the British Museum. Indeed, BM Satires refers to the copy at the Bibliothéque National France, one of only six copies in institutional holdings worldwide. Theodore Lane (1800-1828) was a political lampoonist and in 1820 created a series of satirical images of Queen Caroline at the time of her return to England to claim her rights as consort to George IV. Lane caricatured the queen as a grotesque, overdressed and overweight, accompanied by her Italian lover, Bartolomeo Pergami and the then Lord Mayor of London, Matthew Wood. The Plates: 1. Design for a New Coat of Arms (Frontispiece) 2. Humphrey Printseller & Publisher. 3. Bergami's Little Darling. 4. A Pas de Deux or Love at First Sight. 5. The Choice of Hercules. 6.
