The story of Sir Walter Ralegh : and A day in a tobacco factory / by Joseph Hatton ; illustrated by John Wallace.
A promotional booklet issued by Cope's Tobacco Plant in Liverpool in 1893, pairing Joseph Hatton's life of Sir Walter Ralegh with a reporter's walk through a working tobacco factory, illustrated by John Wallace for the firm's smoking customers. The plates are tonal wood engravings of labour and trade: women stripping and sorting leaf at long benches, men levering hogsheads across a yard, and the Great Eastern Street saleroom hung with framed advertising prints, useful for period interiors, work clothing and crowd staging.
