LOT 3141
POLITICAL CARICATURE. The British Antidote to Caledonian Poison: Containing fifty-three Anti-ministerial, Political, Satirical, and Comic Prints, for those remarkable Years 1762, and 1763. London: for J. Pridden, [circa 1764.] 2 vols. in 1, seventh edition, 8vo (184 x 109mm.) Engraved folding frontispiece, 1 engraved illustration, 50 engraved plates, including 4 folding. (Some loss to frontispiece, small tears along folds of two folding plates, browning, finger-marked, minor soiling.) Contemporary half calf (old repair to spine, heavily rubbed). Note: rare. The two volumes were published separately so it is especially scarce to find them bound together. The title page contains a footnote advertisement for ‘The Scots Scourge’, also in two volumes, that together form a ‘compleat Sett of all the Political Prints published during Lord Bute’s Glorious Administration’.
Estimate: £150 – £250
