Inside Out Library

Bond Slaves. The story of a struggle

VARLEY, afterwards BANKS, Isabella. · 1893 · Griffith, Farran & Co. · 15 pictures

A late Victorian novel by Isabella Banks, published in London by Griffith, Farran & Co. in 1893 for the general circulating-library reader. The plates are small wood-engraved plant vignettes used as chapter headings and tailpieces — a single cranesbill bloom, a dog rose with hips, an apple on a leafy branch, ragged pinks — each cut loose on white with no frame, ready to lift as a spot ornament.
