ALKEN, Henry.] Fashion and Folly. Or the Buck's Pilgrimage . London: William Sams, 1822]. Hand-coloured aquatint panorama after Alken consisting of 24 scenes, one double-folding (folding sheet 125 x 700mm., others 125 x 245mm), letterpress verses below, mounted one to a page in oblong 2° album (178 x 302mm). (Spotting to mounts.) Late 19th-century green half morocco and marbled boards, morocco title label on cover (lightly rubbed, recased with new endpapers). A HIGHLY COLOURFUL PANORAMA, here in book form, illustrating the London adventures of Lubin with his friend Dashall. The well-off Lubin is seen leaving his country seat for London, and experiencing scenes of high and low life. Their disregard for the expense is such that the two friends are eventually surprised by a bailiff and end up in a debtor's prison with ample time to reflect on their empty pockets and ill health. Abbey Life 487.
