DELUXE BINDING WITH BARHAM'S AUTOGRAPH LETTER
The Ingoldsby Legends by Thomas Ingoldsby. Illustrated by George Cruikshank and John Leech. Bentley's Miscellany. [With autograph letter by Barham.]
London: Richard Bentley, 1837-45.
8vo (9½" tall). Superb full red crushed morocco, by TOUT. Gilt raised bands and pallets, fine gilt tooling to panels. Boards framed with gilt floral corner tool. Gilt doublures with floral patterned endpapers. Top edge gilt. Slightly foxed. Armorial bookplate. Original issues of Bentley's Magazine. Bound with special title page, contents and a preface dated 1889 by the collector John Waugh. Autograph letter in black ink bound in, dated "Sept. 2" [1844], 4 pages.
An exceptional deluxe binding by TOUT binders, with an autograph letter by the author. Barham's letter is to an unidentified woman author congratulating her on her article in Blackwood's, adding that Alexander Blackwood himself is pleased with it. Illustrated by the celebrated Victorian illustrators Cruikshank and Leech with fine engraved plates. The Reverend Barham published his hugely popular Ingoldsby Legends under a pseudonym, possibly to avoid the charges of irreverence made against his lively and humorous work. Uniformly bound with our other selections from Bentley's Miscellany.
