Douglas states that only four woodcuts in this series were by Cruikshank, but Dodd and Cohn have pointed out that this statement is in error, for at least one other woodcut is known with Cruikshank's signature,. The five volumes here have three woodcuts signed by the artist as well as one upper wrapper. They are housed in a worn cloth chemise with a printed label stating that all of them have a woodcut by Cruikshank. Dodd points out (p. 28), that the owner of these and similar "possesses evidence of new and hitherto unrecognized Cruikshank material".
The chemise bears the bookplate of A. M. Cohn who issued the Cruikshank Catalogue Raisonné. It also includes a label with the handwritten note, likely in Cohn's hand, "Cat. Rais. 656", The bookplate has a piece lacking.
Cohn, 656.
