Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1824 1ed GAMBLING Fatal Effects William Weare Thurtell Murder Trial Law Macabre "They cut his throat from ear to ear, His head they battered in. His name was Mr William Weare, He lived in Lyons Inn." This fascinating, illustrated work describes the notorious trial of the gruesome murder of Mr. William Weare. On October 24, 1823, following a gambling dispute, John Thurtell and his two accomplices Joseph Hunt and William Probert apprehended and brutally murdered Weare. The culprits would later be discovered and arrested, consequently both the murder and subsequent trial famously exposed the criminal underworld of London to a curious and ignorant public audience causing enormous public interest and media coverage.

No Binding. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. An ephemera woodblock print, similar to kawaraban, possibly a shrine souvenir. It represents the cutest beast named "felicity", a chimera made of twelve Zodiac creatures. Text on the upper part of the print gives 12 short moral stories for each creature. The original woodblock was made by Enrosai Shigemitsu in around 1845-1854. The iconography is reasonably rare, but we know that 10 years later in 1858, another artist Utagawa Yoshitora made a similar image of the Zodiac chimera. However the print is a copy of a Shigemitsu' Kotobuki by an unknown printer, possibly a craftsman. Text in Japanese. 36,8x30cm. 1 leaf, complete. Woodblock print on thin paper, monochrome. Foxing all over. Twice creased. Very good condition. …
