Something concerning Nobody. Edited by Somebody. Embellished with fourteen characteristic etchings.
(London, Robert Scholey 1814). Etchings, printed in sepia. 140x100mm of fourteen caricatures. Pasted into small, green paper album, trimmed within platemarks, front wrapper annotated in ink in a contemporary hand.
A small, rare, interesting volume detailing the adventures of 'Nobody', a thin (apparently invisible) little man, his breeches buttoned under his chin, with his legs joined to his shoulders, indicating that having no body, he is 'Nobody'. BM 12438 - 12451.
Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit.
Frontispiece. A smiling 'Nobody' steps through a giant letter 'O'.
Somebody & Nobody.
A scowling 'Nobody' stands to a fat, puzzled John Bull, wearing top boots and holding a cudgel.
Nobody at the Door.
A startled, liveried footman, holding up a large candle, looks from a doorway, while 'Nobody' skips away grinning.
Nobody laughs at a Tragedy.
A theatre scene, showing a corner of the stage and one box, in which 'Nobody' laughs at the grotesque figure of Romeo Coates posturing ridiculously in the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet.
Nobody sees it.
A pot bellied little parson stands on tiptoe to kiss a pretty young housemaid. 'Nobody' watches them with an expression of pleased reprobation.
Nobody scents it.
'Nobody' holds his nose in disgust as a fat 'cit' blows out clouds of tobacco smoke.
Nobody's at Home.
A stout John Bull enters a salon with a blank stare, findong no-one at home. 'Nobody' sprawls in a chair looking up with a frown at the visitor.
Nobody's affraid of him.
'Nobody' slinks timorously past a fat, fierce, foreign general (Platoff), with a huge bicorne hat and mustachios.
Nobody knows when to leave off at my Lord Mayor's Feast.
Two Aldermen guzzle roat beef across a small table. 'Nobody' passes back an empty plate to an astonished footman.
Nobody dies for Love.
'Nobody' lies back on a settee, overwhelmed at the sight of a hideous old woman with hairy chin, hump and little twisted legs. A small cupid stands on the arm of the sofa tugging a string around 'Nobody's' neck.
Nobody knows what is become of all the Guineas.
'Nobody' stands on the seashore, beside a moneychanger's table, his finger laid beside his nose in a knowing gesture. In the background a man mints coins in a small furnace and a man carries off a sack of Guineas towards a waiting ship.
Nobody hears it.
'Nobody' stands with his hands over his ears at the blast of a newsboy's horn and the ringing of a postman's bell.
Nobody arrested in his Minority.
'Nobody', grinning broadly, is held between two bailiffs. One holds a cudgel while the other holds out a writ. One could not be held responsible for debts incurred before achieving majority at 21.
Nobody laughs at a Touch of the Gout.
'Nobody' grinning broadly, leans back in his chair while small demons stick darts in his hideously swollen foot.
1 vol of fourteen caricatures
(Ireland, William Henry) Something Concerning Nobody. Edited by Somebody
London, Robert Scholey, 1814. Only edition. 8vo. xv, 191pp. Fourteen sepia etchings attributed to George Moutard Woodward. Contemporary half polished calf, spine in six compartments, intricately gilt; marbled paper boards. Attractive 20th century bookplate. Light rubbing to the leather and the boards; edges worn; light offsetting of the plates to facing text pages. A very good copy in a very presentable binding. Uncommon, refreshing combination of writing and illustration, in which Nobody is portrayed as a surprised-and-saddened, poor forked animal. On the question of authorship, see British Museum N&Q, 4th ser., VII, 474.
