OPPER, F[rederick Burr] (1857 ? 1937). A Museum of Wonders and What the Young Folks Saw There. London & New York: George Routledge & Sons, 1884. First edition. Publisher?s pictorial paper-covered boards (rear rubbed and scuffed). Lithographed plates depict a range of ?museum exhibits? of the era, including a Living Skeleton, magician, silhouette cutter, learned pig, a sea serpent exhibit, and other similar curiosities, each accompanied by somewhat droll verses. Small folio. Binding weak, extremities rubbed, a few short tears in gutters and margins, but good condition overall. Opper?s illustrations were featured in many famous nineteenth century periodicals, including Leslie?s Weekly, and Puck, but his greatest fame came as a newspaper cartoonist. His Happy Hooligan cartoon strip ran for some 32 years in the New York Journal, and made the artist world famous.
