BEGGARS -- A Collection of 24 pen-and-ink drawings of beggars, mounted on stiff paper, captions to most of them in ink and pencil. London: c.1840. 4° (228 x 153mm. including margins). (Many a little yellowed.) 19th-century half roan (foot of spine defective, corners slightly worn).
A fascinating glimpse of low life in London in the first half of the 19th century. As today, many of the beggars possessed a dog for companionship.
