Whimsicalities: A Periodical Gathering, Thomas Hood, 1870 [Cruikshank]

A Victorian comic miscellany bringing together humorous and satirical pieces, illustrated by two of the period’s most celebrated caricaturists. The lively illustrations by Cruikshank and Leech complement the light-hearted and satirical tone of the text, reflecting the popular periodical culture of mid-nineteenth-century Britain. An engaging example of illustrated Victorian humour in book form.
