5 ½ by 3 ¾ inches (14 cm high x 9.4 cm wide), vignetted

A large cucumber fell at Mrs. Nickleby’s feet, then a fine vegetable marrow. Kate caught her mother's hand, and saw appearing above the garden wall a very large head, in which were a most extraordinary pair of eyes, most ugly to behold — p. 543.
