Twenty illustrations, each roughly four inches square and each with its own caption, on a sheet of paper roughly forty-four inches by eight and a half inches, folded into a booklet four and a half inches square, in original printed blue paper wraps. Extremely scarce. No copy on COPAC. Frail, on discoloured brittle paper, creased and with several closed tears. A charming account, timed between 5 a.m. and 4 p.m., of the mishaps that befall Mr Timothy Twitters ('being Flush of Money and having a Holiday') and his wife, as they try to 'see the Procession on Thanksgiving Day', culminating in their being taken into custody. Striking illustrations of figures in silhouette.
