COCKTON, Henry. · 1851 · W. M. Clark · 59 pictures

A popular Victorian melodramatic novel by Henry Cockton, issued in a second edition by W. M. Clark in London in 1851 for readers of cheap serial fiction, with wood engravings by Kenny Meadows and Alfred Crowquill and steel etchings by Onwhyn. The vignettes drop into the text without frames: courting couples, caricatured old gentlemen, drawing rooms with pedestal vases and bookcases, crinolines, papers strewn across desks, street encounters in top hats and boots.
