This was a private printing for the members of the Gresham club and contains 71 caricatures of its members. A foreword to the book is by the artist Harry Furness explaining how the book came about. Furniss had been persuaded to create a book of caricatures as he had done for the Garrick club in London previously. An unknown print run, but believed to be in very small numbers, only a handful are believed to remain in existence. The Gresham club ran from about 1843 and finally closed its doors in 1991.
