Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of a Notable and Extensive Collection of Illustrated Books and Caricatures: Original Issues by the Three Cruikshanks Rowlandson, Gillray and Others The Illustrated Books, Caricatures and Etchings by the Great English Book Illustrators and Caricaturists of the Nineteenth Century gathered by Mr. Townsend, and herein catalogued, comprise one of the most extensive and important collections of its kind ever offered at public sale in America. Many of the volumes are in full morocco or calf bindings by Riviere, Tout, Zaehnsdorf, Sangorski & Sutcliffe, Larkins, and Root. A large number are in the Original Bindings; while a, few are in Original Parts or Wrappers, as issued. Each volume contains the bookplate of the owner. The Works of the three Cruikshanks, - Isaac, George and Robert, comprise the greater part of this collection. They include Notable First Editions, Original Drawings, Aquatint Engravings in Color, and Colored Caricatures of all three artists. Many of these items are of great rarity; a number of them being of unusual interest, owing to the Autograph Inscriptions of the celebrated George, which appears on several of the plates etched by himself or his brother Robert. Among the books illustrated by these artists, are several of the rarer First Editions of the Works of Charles Dickens, William Harrison Ainsworth, Pierce Egan, William Combe, and Robert Westmacott; while in the field of Caricatures the collection is especially rich in examples of their work. These satirical and humorous sketches illustrate various incidents during the Napoleonic Wars, the Political and Social Life of England during the reign of George the Fourth, the liaison of Maria Foote and her friends, the troubles of Queen Caroline and her Royal Consort; also Sporting, Dramatic and Domestic Events; Rare Broadsides and Song-Heads. Isaac Cruikshank and his son Robert are also, each represented by an Original Drawing; while by the celebrated George there are six drawings of unusual interest. Besides the three Cruikshanks noted above, there are a few examples of the work of Percy Cruikshank (son of Robert), and of George Cruikshank, Jr. (son of Percy). The latter at first signed his plates, - "George Cruikshank, Jr.;" but in order to do away with the confusion created by this, he changed the same at the request of the great George, assumed his mothers family name, and signed himself, - "George Calvert Cruikshank." Of Equal Importance with the Cruikshank Collection is that section containing examples of the work of the celebrated caricaturist, - Thomas Rowlandson, whose compositions as represented herein comprise the most extensive and important series of books and caricatures by his hand, ever offered at public sale in America. This section comprises 195 different items, or groups of subjects, commencing with the first book illustrated by him, and including a large proportion of the more noteworthy and finer examples of his work; while his original watercolor work and sketches are represented by four different subjects and a volume of collected sketches.
