St. Stephen's - Mask

St. Stephen's: Or Pencilings Of Politicians is a book written by an anonymous author who goes by the pseudonym ""Mask"". The book was originally published in 1839 and provides a satirical look at the British Parliament during the 19th century. Through a series of sketches and caricatures, Mask portrays the politicians of the time as self-interested and corrupt individuals who are more concerned with their own personal gain than the well-being of their constituents. The book takes its name from St. Stephen's Chapel, which was the location of the House of Commons before it was destroyed by fire in 1834. St. Stephen's: Or Pencilings Of Politicians is a witty and humorous critique of the political system of the time. It is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the political climate of the 19th century and the attitudes towards politicians at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
