Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. 1st Edition. Apparently scarce, especially in first edition form as this appears to be. 252 full page drawings from Punch by John Leech, in chronological order dating from 1851-1861, with short notes from Lemon in the bottom margin. Half title, portrait frontispiece of Leech with a facsimile signature,…contents list. Publisher's red blindstamped and gilt lettered cloth, rather stained. Unfortunately there is a water stain which goes almost right through the book, affecting the top corner of all the plates, some hardly at all, most slightly, a few badly (please see images for best and worst). Possibly this stain is what has saved the book from being broken up for plates. John Leech (illustrator).

Baker' to p. 25, early 20th-century armorial bookplate of Kington Baker to upper pastedown.First edition of Surtees's most successful novel, and his first collaboration with John Leech. Though never acknowledging his career as a sporting author, Surtees was a significant contributor to the Sporting Magazine, in 1830 replacing Nimrod as hunting correspondent and the following year establishing with Rudolph Ackermann a rival New Sporting Magazine, where he assumed the role of editor in addition to that of hunting correspondent. By the time of his first novels, in the 1840s, he had inherited Hamsterley Hall and was able to devote himself to farming, hunting, and writing. Issued in serial parts, here bound together, Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour had been published in an earlier version in the New Monthly Magazine (1849-1851), under the title Soapey Sponge's Sporting Tour. With Surtees's characteristic engagingly vulgar hero and rollicking style accompanied by Leech's humorously sketched illustrations, the novel proved enormously popular, becoming the first of several collaborations between the two. The present copy is from the library of Kington Baker, a collector whose seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Japanese porcelain is held by the British Museum. Mellon 187.

Having published the first editions of several of Surtees's sporting novels, Bradbury, Agnew, & Co. gathered and reprinted the six most successful as the 'Handley Cross series' as luxury sets. Publisher's advertisements at the rear of the present volumes advertise, besides the 'M.F.H. edition', a 'Country Gentleman's Library edition' and the '"Jorrocks" edition' (each comprising only six volumes), described thus: 'This inimitable series of Volumes is absolutely unique, there being nothing approaching to them in all the wide range of modern or ancient literature. Written by Mr. Surtees, a well-known country gentleman, who was passionately devoted to the healthy sport of fox-hunting, and gifted with a keen spirit of manly humour of a Rabelaisian tinge, they abound with incidents redolent of mirth and jollity. The Artist, Mr. Leech, was himself also an enthusiast in the sport, and has reflected in his illustrations, with instinctive appreciation, the rollicking abandon of the Author's stories.' Surtees's distinctively adventurous style, often coarse and colloquial, has earned admirers and critics for his works in equal measure, yet his sporting novels remain the most popular of the nineteenth century. 'His books ran counter to the currents of his age in their lack of idealism, absence of sentimentality, and almost wilful flouting of conventional moralism. His leading male characters were coarse or shady; his leading ladies dashing and far from virtuous; his outlook on society satiric to the point of cynicism. One Victorian theory was that such readership as he enjoyed was due to the humour of John Leech's illustrations, a view perpetuated in the Dictionary of National Biography. Yet, paradoxically, the qualities that in his own time prevented an appreciation of his talents as a writer, preserved his books in a later age from the oblivion which befell many of his more famous contemporaries. 'Surtees's range was limited, his style often clumsy and colloquial. Even in the better-constructed novels the plots are loose and discursive. Nevertheless, his sharp, authentic descriptions of the hunting field have retained their popularity among fox-hunters, for whom the sanitized (and in their day immeasurably better-selling) hunting novels of George Whyte-Melville have long lost their appeal. Among a wider public his mordant observations on men, women, and manners; his entertaining array of eccentrics, rakes, and rogues, his skill in the construction of lively dialogue (a matter over which he took great pains); his happy genius for unforgettable and quotable phrases; and above all, his supreme comic masterpiece, Jorrocks, have won him success.

All with the original gilt decorated cloth covers bound in at end. Each volume with the armorial bookplate of Herman Frasch Whiton and his ink signature on a front blank. Several joints show varying degrees of cracking - still a very handsome set. The first five titles originally published in parts. Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour with thirteen hand-colored engraved plates and eighty-four wood engravings; Handley Cross with seventeen hand-colored engraved plates and eighty-four wood engravings; Ask Mamma with thirteen hand-colored engraved plates and sixty-nine wood engravings; Plain or Ringlets? with thirteen hand-colored engraved plates and forty-four wood engravings; Mr. Facey Romford's Hounds with twenty-four hand-colored engraved plates and wood-engraved title vignette; [and] Hillingdon Hall or, The Cockney Squire with twelve hand-colored engraved plates and wood-engraved title vignette. Robert Smith Surtees (1805-1864) "founded, with R. Ackermann the younger, the New Sporting Magazine in 1831, to which he contributed his comic sketches of Mr Jorrocks, the sporting Cockney grocer, later collected as Jorrocks's Jaunts and Jollities (1838). Jorrocks, whose adventures to some extent suggested the original idea of Pickwick Papers, reappears in Handley Cross (1843; expanded and illustrated by Leech, 1854). His second great character, Mr Soapey Sponge, appears in Mr Sponge's Sporting Tour (1853); another celebrated character was Mr Facey Romford, who appears in his last novel, Mr Facey Romford's Hounds (1865). His eight long novels deal mainly with the characteristic aspects of English fox-hunting society, but his vivid caricatures, the absurd scenes he describes, the convincing dialect and often repeated catch-phrases, distinguish him from other writers of this genre. The illustration of his novels by Leech, Alken, and 'Phiz' (H.K. Browne) also contributed to their success" (The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature). Hardie211-213. Schwerdt II, 233-238.

First edition. Thirteen parts bound in twelve. Octavo (8 3/4 x 5 11/16 inches; 223 x 145 mm.). Publisher's original red-brown pictorial wrappers. With the bookplates of H. Bradley Martin and Fitz Eugene Dixon. Hand-colored etched vignette title and twelve hand-colored plates. Black and white wood engravings throughout. Bound wit…hout the 12-page catalogue at end of the thirteenth part. Chemised and housed in a red cloth clamshell case with black leather spine label lettered in gilt. First and final parts with small losses at spine foot, color plate in part five with light crease, still a very good set. One of the great pleasures of Plain or Ringlets? is the interpretation of its events by the artist John Leech. He was introduced to Surtees by William Thackeray, a great friend and admirer of Surtees' work. The first novel Leech illustrated for Surtees was Mr. Sponge's Sporting Tour. Surtees had originally asked Thackeray to illustrate this work, but Thackeray declined on the grounds that he could not draw horses; instead, he recommended Leech, being "of a sporting turn" and who "to my mind draws a horse excellently." Leech illustrated all of Surtees' subsequent works and the two men became friends. The illustrations follow the text closely, a result of close collaboration between the artist and writer. Although Leech was responsible for numerous book illustrations, and is lauded as the chief cartoonist of Punch, some of his best work is to be found in the pages of Surtees' novels. Podeschi 199.
