60 engraved plates only, apparently lacking 5 plates; viii+204, 203pp; spotting to a few leaves and plates.
Although James Caulfield [1764-1826] the printseller who made reproductions of old rare portrait prints to meet the demands of his customers is not mentioned, the personages portrayed are virtually the same as in his publications. Perhaps this was a pirated edition. The range of eccentric figures includes Foster Powell, the pedestrian, and the Marquess of Queensbury. There are many London street traders like Tiddy Doll and the Pig-Pye Man.
