Illustrations: the Barrister

[mikeindex]

Since the illustrations to the original edition of the Snark have been so extensively dealt with recently, I thought these two images might be of interest:

Edward Vaughan Kenealy, defence counsel in the Tichborne Trial (possibly the most celebrated legal case of the entire 19th century):


Henry Holiday's drawing of the Barrister:


Both images appear exactly as originally drawn and have not been doctored in any way!

Okay, they don't appear as originally drawn. Why not I can't imagine - I'll try and fix it. In the meantime, here are the links if anyone wants to look for themselves:

The URL tags work, when ":" is replaced by "%3A". (I did that in the quote of your posting.) With IMG that won't work.

Kenealy in the Tichborne Trial picture selected by you does have a resemblance with the Barrister.

Update (2009-07-03): I was wrong. Images from Wiki commons can be displayed, e.g. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6e/EagleStar.png as shown above.
