Punch July-Dec 1894

£18.00

The collected editions of Punch magazine from July to December 1894, notable for its mockery of the Oscar Wilde circle, in its element at the time before the great scandal of Lord Queensberry. One illustration is satirising the works of Aubrey Beardsley, with a poem under the illustration saying, “Take a lot of black triangles, some amorphous blobs of red; just a sprinkle of queer spangles, an ill-drawn Medusa head.” This engraved cloth-covered edition is in very good condition.
