About this Paged Content
Gilbert reports that he has been "anxiously waiting" for the remainder of "Bob Ballads" that he might complete the frontispiece; at present he has only up to page 140. Gilbert lists the items still missing complete with page numbers. He speculates that "Possibly Messrs Routledge have overlooked these 18 & have not forwarded them to you-- although I certainly forwarded them to _them_ ." Gilbert is referring here to his collection of comic verse originally published as _The Bab Ballads_ (1869), and later followed by _More Bab Ballads_ (1873) which Gilbert illustrated himself. Gilbert is best remembered for his collaborations with Sir Arthur Sullivan on several comic operas and burlesques like _H.M.S. Pinafore_ (1878) and _The Pirates of Penzance_ (1879).
