As Photogravure is the best and most faithful, as well as the most expensive method, this Album is certain to be valuable, and a worthy and complete memorial of the “Artistic Joke”; whilst the price charged will be only £3 3s., the same as fixed, originally, when the adoption of the cheaper process was contemplated.
The size of the Album is Imperial Quarto (11 by 15 inches); the plates range, on an average, from 4 × 6 to 7½ × 9 inches. The whole is handsomely and tastefully bound in cloth and gilt edged.
After the Thousand Veritable Édition de Luxe were Printed, the Plates were Destroyed.
The whole Edition is rapidly being exhausted and the price will be raised to FIVE Guineas in a few days.

“The genius of Leech has never been seen to greater advantage than in this gallery.”—Morning Post.
“We doubt whether in the whole range of the literary or pictorial art of the period, the earlier portion of the Victorian era has been elsewhere so vigorously, so truthfully, as well as so humorously portrayed as in John Leech’s inimitable pictures. The series has an importance beyond the amusement of the moment—it serves both to commemorate the genius of the artist and the character of the age.”—Country Gentleman.

“There can be no better book for a drawing-room table, to suggest subjects of talk. The arts of engraving have made rapid progress since these pictures first appeared, but it would be hard to surpass the pregnant humour of the more famous of the political cartoons. They put the points on all the critical periods of our Parliamentary history, and indicate in effective outline the action of political celebrities.”—Times.
“It is surprising to find how complete a history of the times they present in vivid form, at least in its most salient features; and a history which is not confined to political events, but which catches and stereotypes many of the evanescent phases of popular fashion and opinion, which could hardly be preserved in any other way.”—Guardian.
“This chronicle must have a place amongst standard books of reference.”—Spectator.
In 3 Volumes, Royal quarto, elegant, price £2 2s.

“Punt Sailing with the Stream” (Reduced.)
“Mr. Leslie has a keen sense of the picturesque, while a genuine enthusiasm for the beauties of scenery to be found in the course of a leisurely boat-trip from Putney to Oxford, gives life and even force to what he says.... ‘Our River’ is not an exhaustive work, but it should be read by all persons who are in any way interested in the subject.”—Times.
“The diction moves in a sort of endless ripple, now telling of water-weeds and bank-flowers and birds, now lingering pleasantly over some of the traditions and old-world lore of which the Thames furnishes such a goodly quantity.”—Graphic.
