The History of Henry Esmond, Esq. ... With illustrations by T. H. Robinson [and a preface by Joseph Jacobs
An 1896 London edition of Thackeray's 1852 novel of Queen Anne's reign, issued by George Allen with a preface by Joseph Jacobs and illustrations by Thomas Heath Robinson. The pen-and-ink plates stage costumed figures in periwigs, frock coats and wide skirts around tables, chairs and panelled rooms, with captions set below in italic; useful for early eighteenth-century dress, interior furnishings and loosely hatched figure groupings.
