About This Item
1821 Life in LONDON Pierce Egan Boxing Illustrated by Cruikshank Tom & Jerry 2v
Known primarily for his extensive account of boxing, Pierce Egan was a well-known and popular British sportswriter. His popularity as an author spurred him to create a recurring monthly journal entitled "Life in London" in which he employed George Cruikshank to illustrate each edition. It is filled with stories, articles, and accounts of various topics including boxing, parties, and adventure stories while using his own characters Tom & Jerry which inspired the 'Tom & Jerry' cartoon characters.
