Agnes; or Beauty and Pleasure
A penny-press sensation novel by G. W. M. Reynolds, published in London in 1857 for a mass serial readership. Wood engravings signed Wall sit inside two-column letterpress pages, showing crinolined women and frock-coated men in curtained drawing rooms, plus ruined arcades and street assaults; useful for 1850s costume silhouettes, grouped figure blocking, and text-wrapped vignette layouts.
