This is a copy from the 19th
This is a copy from the 19th century, or possibly the early 20th, of George Cruikshank's book of caricatures titled Scraps and Sketches. The title page is undated and is laid down on another, tipped-in page so that the back cannot be read, but the front cover of the full leather binding reads "Scraps and Sketches / by / George Cruikshank / Double Set of Plates / Plain and Coloured / 1828". A printed notation on one of the FFEP reads "MORRELL BINDER" in reference to the bookbindery established by W. T. Morrell in London in 1861. A penciled bibliographic notation on another FFEP states, "24 plates in 2 states: uncoloured & hand coloured / 1928-29-31-32".
Thus, it is unclear exactly how old the book itself is or the coloring on the plates, though the binding must obviously postdate 1861. Reprints of Scraps and Sketches are known, though not in double sets of uncolored and colored plates.

10 EARLY PRINTS INCLUDING
10 EARLY PRINTS INCLUDING MERIWETHER LEWIS, NATIVE AMER...10 Engravings and other prints of subjects including Meriwether Lewis after St. Memin, a Virginia Native American woman, the children of Charles I after Anthony van Dyck, John Quincy Adams, J.C. Hobhouse, Quakers, and more. 1st item: Aquatint on laid paper of explorer Meriwether Lewis in Native American garb, holding a rifle and knife, by William Strickland, after the portrait by Charles B.J.F. de Saint Memin, published in The Analectic Magazine and Naval Chronicle in 1816 (sheet 8 1/2" x 4 7/8"). Note: This scarce early-19th century image of one of America's most famous explorers is notable for a couple of reasons. The full-length image of Lewis was a significant departure for the artist Saint-Memin, who almost always portrayed his sitters in bust-length profiles. And artist William Strickland was more famous as the architect of the U.S. Mint and Bank of the United States and the Tennessee State Capitol. 2nd item: Lithograph on wove paper depicting the same image as #1 in black and white, with title "Lewis in Indian Dress by St. Memin from the original in possession of Mrs. Julia Clark Voorhis" (sheet 16" x 12"), undated but likely mid-late 19th century (Voorhis was explorer William Clark's granddaughter). 3rd item: "Dame de Virginie: Habit of a Lady of Virginia," circa 1760 engraving on laid paper depicting a young Native American woman carrying a basket or jar (sheet 10 3/4" x 8"). 4th-10th items include "The Children of Charles I" by W. French after Anthony Van Dyck; Sir Christopher Wren and Hugh Howard by Alexander Bannerman after Sir Godfrey Kneller (circa 1804); "St. Antoine de Padoue, Prechant aux Poissons" by J.P. Le Bas after Salvator Rosa; "Meeting in a Narrow Lane," Quaker subject matter, from the Laurie & Whittle series of Drolls possibly by Isaac Cruikshank; Portrait of J.C. Hobhouse, author of "The Miscellany"; and portraits of early Tennessee prominent figures Felix Grundy and Jo Conn Guild. Sheet sizes of 4th through 10th items range 6" x 9" to 9" x 11".
Condition:
All with light toning, fading and discoloration, minor creases and foxing, overall good condition. Colored portrait of Lewis has 1 1/2" chip to top left edge. Black and white portrait of Lewis has 2 repaired tears lower right. Wren portrait has small losses to corners and left side. All prints except Quaker are encapsulated in protective plastic sleeves.
