L'opera e le tavole descrivono i vari caratteri, costumi e maniere degli inglesi, questa divertente esplorazione degli alti e bassi della società londinese è un adattamento fedele del popolarissimo Life in London di Pierce Egan. Il volume esplora la storia di Egan di Tom, Jerry e Logic, un gruppo di amici le cui disavventure li portano dai quartieri più alla moda di Londra ai bassifondi più poveri. Le meravigliose illustrazioni mostrano il trio prendere parte a ogni sorta di malizia e allegria, tra cui partecipare a un ballo in maschera, socializzare nell'atrio affollato di un teatro, visitare un sarto su misura, prendere lezioni di boxe, fare baldoria in una chiassosa birreria e, forse inevitabilmente, comparire davanti a un poliziotto. Vicaire III, 564.

Leatherbound. Etat : Very Good. George and Isaac Robert Cruikshank illustrations (illustrateur). First Edition. 8vo. Pp. xvi, 376. Frontis. hand-colored engraving, title-page vignette.

A runaway success and still admired, especially for the Cruikshank illustrations, of London's high- and low-life. This was the Cruikshank's first major work.Pierce Egan was an early model of the sports-journalist, capturing gin-besotted life in pre-Dickensian London with a rich writing style that mingled colloquial observations with refined, albeit orotund, prose. His work was largely forgotten until practitioners such as A. J. Liebling and Joseph Mitchell began to emulate and celebrate his work. Indeed, Egan coined the phrase the "sweet science" as a euphemism for boxing, a coinage Liebling used as the title to his lauded 1956 collection of boxing reportage.This is an especially well-preserved copy of the first issue, in a handsome binding with moderate wear.
