Inside Out Library

Cherry & Violet, a tale of the Great Plague. By the author of “Mary Powell” [i.e. Anne Manning]

HUTTON, William Holden - Dean of Winchester, JELLICOE, John., MANNING, Anne., RAILTON, Herbert. · 1897 · J. C. Nimmo · 44 pictures

An 1897 J. C. Nimmo reissue of Anne Manning's historical novel of the 1665 plague, illustrated by Herbert Railton and John Jellicoe for late-Victorian readers of costume fiction. Railton's loose pen-and-ink views of gabled streets, churchyards and overgrown gateways alternate with Jellicoe's figure scenes of cloaked men in broad hats and women in long gowns, giving designers 17th-century street furniture, hanging trade signs and scratchy architectural line to reuse.
