Jane Brightwell; or, the Beggar's petition. A romance. [By James M. Rymer
A penny-blood serial romance written by James Malcolm Rymer and issued in weekly numbers by Edward Lloyd in London in 1848 for working-class readers. The 46 wood engravings drop melodramatic moments into the text column — pistols drawn in doorways, brawls in panelled halls, a woman pleading in a stone cell — with dialogue captions printed beneath each cut.
