1870, Thomas Ingoldsby / The Ingoldsby Legends or Mirth and Marvels, 2 Vol Set
Spines lettered and decorated in gilt. Top edge gilt. Marbled endpapers. Illustrated with black-and-white plates. Full of witches, monks, knights, specters, miracles, and absurd misadventures, The Ingoldsby Legends reflects the 19th-century taste for antiquarian romance while also poking fun at it, making it an appealing title for collectors of Victorian literature, illustrated books, folklore, and comic writing.
