Outlines Illustrative of The Journal of Fanny Anne KembleDavid Johnston and Fanny Kemble, 1835KEMBLE, Frances Anne ("Fanny," 1809-1893) and David Claypool JOHNSTON (1799-1865). Outlines Illustrative of The Journal of F****** A*** K***** Drawn and Etched by Mr___. Boston: D.C. Johnston, 1835.Johnston's satirical look at English actress and author Fanny Kemble's Journal of a Residence in America (1835). "Fanny was young, still somewhat gauche socially, and she made many visitor's gaffes, criticizing the manners of Americans, their government, food, and intelligence, the looks and dress of the women, even the way their horses were trained [...] In 1835 she made her position in America difficult by publishing two volumes of her journal, detailing her introduction to America, which many of its citizens found hard to forgive, despite the dashes that partly concealed the names of those whom Fanny had encountered—and dissected. It remains notable for the freshness of its style and the penetrating unconventionality of its observations, rather than for anything shocking or coarse" (ODNB). The jounral was fair game for Johnston, the cartoonist and printmaker whose early work included character portraits of well-known British and American actors. Rare; the last record in RBH is from a 1952 Goodspeed catalogue. Octavo (223 x 130mm). Title leaf and 8 etched plates. Later half morocco and marbled boards.
