John Bull and his Wonderful Lamp

Unsophisticated and attractive example of this satire on Richard Cobden complete with uncoloured illustrations and found here in the publisher’s binding with the binder’s ticket of ‘Remnant and Edmonds’ still present on the lower pastedown. Straight grain red cloth with gilt decoration, slightly discoloured, a bump two thirds of the way up the spine. Shiny yellow endpapers with a Victorian ownership signature of ‘John Mann’. Tissue-guard to the frontispiece, occasional spotting through the text which has 60 pages and 5 further lithographic illustrations - 6 in total.
