George St. George Julian, the Prince. [With plates by Thomas Onwhyn and a portrait of the author

COCKTON, Henry. · 1844 · George Routledge · 25 pictures

A comic novel by Henry Cockton, issued by George Routledge in London in 1844 for the same readers who bought Dickens in parts, with twenty-five etched plates by Thomas Onwhyn and an author portrait. The plates are captioned scenes of early-Victorian street and parlour life — tea tables, a lamp-post and rusticated archway, bill-plastered office walls, leaded casements — full of top hats, tailcoats and wide skirts, useful for period costume, interior fittings and crowd staging.
