Book Find, Thought someone might be interested.

Post by Anthony Bennett »

Hi,
I was surfing for 18th century acid etched signs and accidently came across this book at the Gutenburg Project
http://www.gutenberg.org/files/31195/31 ... 1195-h.htm

It is The Project Gutenberg EBook of English Caricaturists and Graphic Humourists of the Nineteenth Century., by Graham Everitt
and what's more there is absolutely no restrictions whatsoever on using anything from the book.

I founsd the images fascinating and maybe someone else on the forum will too.
regards
Anthony
