Ingoldsby, Thomas: The Knight and the Lady A Domestic Legend of the Reign of Queen Anne. , London: Eyre & Spottiswoode, c1880.

Titlepage + 19pp. 37.5 x 27.5 cm. An extraordinary Victorian whimsical production, "With the Letters & Illustrations of Ernest M Jessop". Each of the bevelled boards is printed with the title page: tan background and dark green binding strip. The cautionary tale of a younger wife is spread over the nineteen pages in an extraordinary font, with occasional words printed in red. The drawings, framing the text, are witty and very accurate. This copy has had some professional restoration, including new endpapers. There is very slight loss, not affecting the text, to the top margin of page four. A good, clean, tight copy for its age. (Book ref. 12863)  £42.00
