Illustrated by Whistler with fifteen 'grotesque and amusing faces' and 30 accompanying verses, printed to be read right way up and upside down. Jacket a touch worn on spine, book itself really clean and bright, light bruise to foot of the spine, but with no internal markings or old inscriptions. A Fine copy in near Fine jacket.
