The Goldsmith's Ward: a tale of London City in the 15th century ... With ... illustrations
A historical novel for young readers by Mrs R. H. Reade, set in fifteenth-century London and issued by Chapman & Hall in 1891 with a full set of captioned plates. The 27 wood-engraved illustrations show crowded interiors and street scenes in medieval dress — kneeling figures, sickbeds, tavern and shop corners — printed within rounded frames with the quoted caption set in small capitals up the side, useful for period costume figures, framed vignette shapes and caption layout.
