Later impression. An attractive Macmillan edition of Washington Irving's Regency-era novel, Bracebridge Hall, or, The Humorists, which was originally published in 1822 and features episodic scenes inspired by visiting upper-class families in England. This edition is generously illustrated by artist Randolph Caldecott, whose huge output of humorous drawings and caricatures made him immensely popular in the mid-late Victorian era.
In good condition with bumped corners, hinges cracked, light pulling to spine ends, and a neat red ink inscription to the forward blanks. Holding well, generally clean inside. Bound in the classic Macmillan green cloth with gilt-stamped motifs and titles to the front and spine, charcoal endpapers, all edges gilt. 19 x 12 cm. Pp. xiv, 284, [4] of catalogue.
