About this book
Suppressed Plates, Wood-engravings, &c is by George Somes Layard, together with other curiosities germane thereto, being an account of certain matters peculiarly alluring to the collector. A dedication to two boys, John and Peter, hopes they will not have so many useless hobbies as their affectionate father. A passage says that Keene, often gravelled for humorous subjects on which to exercise his pencil, was by good fortune introduced to the author of Border Notes and Mixty-Maxty.
The text says Keene’s delight may be well imagined when he was given carte blanche to cull the best of the subjects for use in Punch. A passage says that Timon (mainly though not entirely) referred to the Duke of Chandos, who was, Johnson says, a man perhaps too much delighted with pomp and show, but of a temper kind and beneficent. Mr. Crawhall was as delighted to be of service to the great artist as Keene was to avail himself of his opportunity.
