1924 The Bab Ballads by W. S. Gilbert, Illustrated Antique Book, Green

This richly illustrated 1924 edition of The Bab Ballads includes both the beloved comic verses and Songs of a Savoyard, with 350 whimsical illustrations by W. S. Gilbert himself—of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. Known for his witty satire and clever rhymes, Gilbert's verses are filled with eccentric characters, social commentary, and dry British humor, making this a delightful read for fans of Victorian-era satire and theatrical history.

Bound in striking half leather with gilt tooling and marbled endpapers, this 100-year-old book displays beautiful craftsmanship. All edges are gilt, and despite chipping to the spine leather and some separation at the front endpaper, the binding remains sound and all pages are intact. Pages are in overall good condition with some age related marks and may have a couple folded corners and/or small tears. Most pages are clean, though a bit darkened.

Please see all pictures as well to help determine condition (zoom in).

Thanks for looking!
