About This Item
1870 Omnibus by George Cruikshank Comic English Essays & Art Engravings BINDING
George Cruikshank was one of England's best and most notable 19th-century caricaturists and book illustrators. In 1841, Cruikshank sought an outlet for his art that he had complete control over – no publisher or editor control. The result was the 'Omnibus' in 1842. This 'Omnibus' contained numerous comedic articles, essays, and even short stories with dozens of woodcuts and steel engravings of the famed Cruikshank art.
This 1870 edition was edited by Laman Blanchard with one hundred engravings on steel and wood.
