Samuel Sowerby: or, doings at Ravensdale Priory. By the author of “Captain Bolis.” Illustrated with ... engravings, by “Phiz.”
A comic English novel of 1845, published in London by the anonymous author of "Captain Bolis" and illustrated with steel etchings by Hablot Knight Browne ("Phiz"), aimed at the middle-class readers of serialised fiction. The 21 plates stage crowded drawing rooms, dinner tables and ballroom crushes full of tail-coated men in mid-gesture, with engraved caption lines, framed portraits and curtained doorways supplying ready-made Victorian interiors and crowd groupings.
