The boards are a vibrant green blue with fresh and shiny gold gilt tiles and illustrations elaborately created on front board and spine. Boards also have embossed loop design on edges. One of Cruikshankâe(tm)s best ever. So elaborate full page plates (black and white) so not so politically correct with black people and female voting. T is no date but per my research and ads in the back of the book this book had to be published in 1903. This is not a reprint but an original! What condition! The boards have been protected over 100 years and are beautiful and shiny! Over 8 inches tall and over 2 inches thick. All boards and pages are attached. Beautiful blue green endpapers with owners stamp neatly placed on left front endapaper.Gorgeous fold out plates. I have taken many many pics but believe me t are even more in the book! Over 420 pages. Itâe(tm)s just a piece of art! A timeless masterpiece! Pages of ads also in back of book. Folding frontispiece by Cruikshank depicts a group of English gentlemen greeting a band of dark-skinned female natives being unloaded from a sailing ship, and is titled "Probable Effects of Over Female Emigration, or, Importing the Fair Sex from the Savage Island in Consequence of Exporting all our own to Australia!!!!!". The other fold outs are also marvelous! the black dolls are very colletible. an early comic collector's dream! a george cruikshank collector's dream... just beautiful! enjoy the pics below.....tons more in the book.. these are just a few....
