Light from the lantern of Diogenes
A collection of caricatures and captioned comic cuts issued in London by E. Shelton in 1855 under the pen name Diogenes, aimed at readers of Punch-style weekly humour. The wood engravings show Victorian street and parlour scenes in loose crosshatched line — top-hatted men, crinolined women, servants, and fashion burlesques — with captions set beneath, useful for figure vignettes and period costume silhouettes.
