Edward Bawden's copy, inscribed on the front free endpaper: "Edward Bawden from Lydia and Percy Horton." A presentation copy linking two figures from the generation of British artists associated with the Royal College of Art. Percy Horton (1897-1970) studied at the RCA from 1922, alongside Edward Bawden, Eric Ravilious and Henry Moore, and later returned as a member of the teaching staff from 1930 to 1949. He subsequently became Ruskin Master of Drawing at Oxford University, remaining in the post until 1964. His work is represented in a number of major public collections including Tate, the National Portrait Gallery and the Imperial War Museum. Horton had also been an absolutist conscientious objector during the First World War. His refusal of military service led to court martial and imprisonment with hard labour, and his health deteriorated seriously before his release in 1917. Lydia Sargent Smith, whom he married in 1921, had been among those who campaigned on his behalf. The illustrations themselves had first appeared in 1832 as Illustrations of Smollett, Fielding, and Goldsmith, a suite of 41 plates drawn from Cruikshank's work for Roscoe's Novelist's Library. This 1836 edition retains the suite under a recast title listing the individual works illustrated. Signed by Author(s).…
