The Way to Victory: the life-story of a brave boy. Edited by J. W. K
An improving life-story for young readers, edited by John William Kirton and issued in London by Ward, Lock & Co. in 1890. The plates are wood-engraved chapter ornaments: symmetrical clusters of curling acanthus foliage, scrolled stems and small five-petalled flowers, drawn in fine hatched line and set loose on the text page, ready to lift as tailpieces, dividers or repeating border units.
