FIRST EDITIONS. A COMPLETE RUN OF THIS SATIRICAL PERIODICAL, WITH ALL THE PLATES, including 'The Boxing Baroness' which is sometimes lacking. The plates, though mostly unsigned, are probably by the Cruikshank brothers, and Charles Williams. The New Bon Ton followed closely the model of The Scourge, which had ceased publication in 1816.
