The Trial Sermon - 1

J. M. Whistler

Wood engraving by the Dalziels

6 x 4½ inches

Good Words (1862): 585.

The illustration is the first of a pair which, unlike Whistler’s other wood engravings, depict scenes from a novella (by ‘M. C.’) rather than a poem. This image shows the Huntleys’ angry and perplexed response to a letter. [Commentary continues below.]
