Pamela Bianco, born in 1906, was a drawing prodigy; and this book is a result of her first exhibition at the Leicester Galleries, in 1919, when she was thirteen.

1819 HUDIBRAS English Civil War Samuel Butler Political Satire Color Illustrated

"Loyalty is still the same, whether it win or lose the game; true as a dial to the sun, although it be not shined upon."
― Samuel Butler, Hudibras

Samuel Butler, a 17th-century satirist, is mostly remembered only for his work 'Hudibras' which satirizes religious sects, such as Puritans and Presbyterians, during the English Civil War. It became an instant success and was popular throughout Great Britain, but perhaps its most notable publication came through the political satire artwork of William Hogarth.

Voltaire thought highly of Butler's
'Hudibras'
"There is one English poem, the title whereof is 'Hudibras'; it is 'Don Quixote' – it is our Satyre Menippee blended together: I never met with so much wit in one single book as in this." (Lowndes 335)
This 1819 two-volume edition is the first edition with the illustrations of Clarke – 12 highly desirable hand-color engravings.
