About This Item
Oblong 8vo [185 x 105 mm], six wood engraved plates, four dated '12 March 1861', two 'Novr. 20 1860'; stitched as issued in original yellow embossed wrappers, the upper wrappers with title.
The views include: Abbey Church Bath - Great Pulteney St., Bath - Grand Pump Room, Bath - Royal Pump Room, Bath - Drinking the Waters - and Theatre & Beau Nash House, Bath.
Although unsigned, the illustration of visitors to the pump room 'Drinking the Waters' is clearly from the hand of Thomas Onwhyn with his characteristic caricatures of various 'types'.
Simon Houfe in the ODNB calls Onwhyn 'an indifferent draughtsman but showed real humour in his designs. His talent was somewhat overshadowed by those of his more eminent contemporaries, George Cruikshank and Hablot K. Browne (Phiz).'
