Phil May's Sketch Book

Phil May's Sketch Book, a single 1897 issue from Chatto & Windus, collects the masterful, economy-of-line cartoons of one of the late-Victorian era's most celebrated black-and-white artists. This slim volume captures May's signature style—deceptively simple, warmly humorous street scenes and character studies that influenced generations of cartoonists. It stands as a concise, essential snapshot of a foundational talent in British comic art.
