Note 183 — A BATCH OF BOOK ILLUSTRATORS:
Reading edition
A work produced by David Bogue, in 1849, and illustrated by the celebrated French caricaturist, which professes to give sketches of “London Life and Character.” Allowing for the unfaithfulness of the portraits, which are wholly Parisian, these designs possess unquestionable merit. The literary contributors were Albert Smith, Shirley Brooks, Angus B. Reach, Oxenford, J. Hannay, Sterling Coyne, and others.
