I think this is not the only Phil May book we have here on CB+.
Superb artist - a very comic artist style for his caricature work.

He was very well-known in Australia.
Two quotes.
[During the three years (1886–1889) he spent in Australia he was attached to The Sydney Bulletin, or The Bulletin as it was better known, for which many of his best drawings were made. He produced about 800 drawings for The Bulletin.]
[May was a major influence on the style of cartoon drawing in the 20th century. In 1918, Percy Bradshaw wrote in The Art of the Illustrator that May "surely gave more magic to a single line than any draftsman who has ever lived, and he was unquestionably the creator of the simplified technique of modern humorous drawing".[2] May's work was a major influence on David Low. Low recalled that his early aspirations were dampened when he saw the "intricate technical quality" of most Punch cartoons, which seemed too difficult to emulate: "But then I came on Phil May, who combined quality with apparent facility ... Once having discovered Phil May I never let him go."]

The book is dedicated to Andrew Tuer https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_White_Tuer
who also shows up in one of the cartoons.

Interesting book, thank you. The drawing style reminds me a bit of the German draftsman Heinrich Zille. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Zille
