Etchings by the late William Makepeace Thackeray, while at Cambridge, illustrative of University life, etc., etc; now printed from the original plates
A collection of etchings by William Makepeace Thackeray made while he was a student at Cambridge, printed from the original plates in London by H. Sotheran & co. in 1878 and aimed at readers interested in university life and its characters. The pictures are small, loose pen-like etchings of interiors with figures in rooms, some captioned, showing a light hand with crowded domestic detail that a designer could draw on for quick sketchy character vignettes and oval vignette framing.
