Bowles & Carver
Popular 18th century engravings: folk humor, chapbook stories, nursery rhymes, oddities, costumes, stage situations, puzzles and more.
A rich source of striking imagery, this compilation of 163 black-and-white prints was reproduced from a rare collection of broadsides. Illustrations include folkloric characters (Peggy Bacon-face, Bet Boozer, Sir John Falstaff) as well as animals, ships, soldiers, traditional English heroes and members of the royal family, and other distinctive graphics.
