A special illustrated edition of 1894.
Hugh Thomson (1860–1920) was an Irish Illustrator. He is best known for his pen-and-ink illustrations of works by authors such as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and J. M. Barrie.
He would often take detailed notes on costumes, furniture, old prints, and architectural records. When illustrating a series of pieces set in the same location, Thomson would maintain the details of each room, hallway, or facade, drawing them from different angles throughout the publication.
Thomson was often praised for his ability to "project himself into a story." Much of his work has become inseparable from the publications themselves. In total, Thomson illustrated sixty-five books and contributed a large number of illustrations to magazines and other periodicals.
