Bogue, David, publisher

A Collection of 13 comic illustrated books, all but two published by Bogue

London, 1847-1852 One of the most popular publishers of mid-nineteenth-century English humor was David Bogue, of 86 Fleet Street. Master of the handy illustrated format (exemplified by the books in this choice selection), Bogue and his stable of writers and illustrators - which included George Cruikshank, A. Henning, H.G. Hine, Horace Mayhew, Gavarni, and many others - delighted the English public by tweaking the noses of contemporary snobs, bores, toadies, flirts, gluttons, etc., and exploring the 'natural history' of English fauna. This delightful collection of his publications includes: (1) Reach, Angus B. The Natural history of "Bores". 1847. Illustrated by Hine. (2) Reach, The Natural History of Humbugs. 1847. Illustrated by Henning. (3) Reach, London on the Thames; or, Life above and below Bridge. London: Published at the Office of the Puppet Show, [1847?]. Illustrated by Hine, Gavarni, et. al.
