Description
1999 Konemann hardcover, full number line. Hungarian import. William Makepeace Thackeray (Vanity Fair). A collection of satirical works by William Makepeace Thackeray published in book form in 1848, the same year as his more famous Vanity Fair. The pieces first appeared in fifty-three weekly pieces from February 28, 1846 to February 27, 1847 as "The Snobs of England, by one of themselves," in the satirical magazine Punch. The pieces, which were immensely popular and thrust Thackeray into widespread public view, were "rigorously revised" before their collection in book form and omitted the numbers which dealt with then current political issues. - Wikipedia
