The Lumley Wood Mystery ... Illustrated by J. B. Partridge
A mystery novel by George Alexander Lethbridge Banbury, published in London by Hutchinson & Son in 1890 for the popular circulating-library readership, with 37 illustrations by J. Bernard Partridge. The plates are halftone reproductions of brush-and-wash drawings in period costume — tricorn hats, long skirted coats, pistols drawn over a fallen body, seizures and embraces in bare interiors — offering staged figure groupings, captioned under-lines, and soft grey tonal modelling against pale page margins.
