From the library of Eric Quayle. The first issue of Memoirs of Joseph Grimaldi by Charles Dickens is identifiable via the appearance of the 🍸plate at page 238 in volume two in its f🧔irst state, without the grotesque border, which was added later.

Grimaldi was one of the most renowned English actors of the Regency period. In the early 1800s, he 🍬greatly expanded the role of the clown in the Harlequinade and madeཧ it his own to such an extent that a clown became known as a "Joey" and his white-face makeup became standard for all types of clown.

Eric Stanley Quayle (1921–2001) was a noted British bibliophile (with a collection of 16,000 volumes), collector, historian and author. His own work was mainly related to the themes of collecting books, but he also produced a noted biography of R. M. Ballantyne (1967) and two books of folktales: one of Cornish tales (The Magic Ointment) and one of Japanese tales (The Shining Princess).
