This Antique Leather Bound Book is full of Humor and littered with detailed Black and White Illustrations throughout. It is bound in 1/2 emerald leather over beautifully marbled blue and green boards. The spine features gold gilt text and detailing between five raised bands. All three pages edges are gilded gold. While undated, it is certainly over 100 years old. It is illustrated with a large black and white frontispiece, as well as dozens of black and white illustrations and drawings throughout the text. A gem.
