Finely bound by Sansorski and Sutcliffe, this first edition of Cruikshank's Water Colours contains fully illustrated versions of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist, William Ainsworth's The Miser's Daughter, as well as both W.H Maxwell's History of the Irish Rebellion in 1798 & Emmett's Insurrection in 1803. George Cruikshank was a prominent English caricaturist and illustrator during the 19th century. His illustrations and political cartoons were known for their sharp wit, satire, and social commentary. Cruikshank's works included illustrations for Charles Dickens' novels, as well as his own illustrated books, such as The Comic Almanack. This book remains a fine example of Cruikshank's special proficiency for water colour illustrations, which he rarely produced.
