Unbound. Condizione: Very Good. Four wood-engraved color prints, measuring approximately: 7" x 4", 6¼" x 3½", 6½" x 7½", and 7" x 7". Pasted at the corners two-up on two sheets of thick wove paper, else very good with scattered light staining to the edges. Two prints match the illustrations from *Legends of Savage Life* by James Greenwood, first published in London by J.C. Hotten in 1867. They were designed and drawn directly on wood blocks by the French-born English illustrator Ernest Griset, and engraved by H.N. Woods. A *Harper's Magazine* review of the American edition described them as "savage enough to satisfy the most critical - caricatures with abundant justification in the legends for their burlesque; full of life, and of a certain grim and grotesque humor, without being any where vulgar, debasing, or bloody." Griset was celebrated for his illustrations of animals, birds and insects, many of which can found at the British Library and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
