Anmerkungen
Cohn 181; Ray p.69: "Pierce Egan's Life in London brought him to wide public notice as an illustrator, and for the next twenty-five years he poured forth drawings of unpreceding abundance, variety, and excellence. Novels (...) were his particular speciality, but when the books of others did not present themselves, he offered volumes of his own like My Sketch Book".
