ILLUSTRATIONS FOR THE WOMAN IN WHITE

Walter & Woman in White

The original publication of The Woman in White in All the Year Round did not include illustrations.  However, the novel was also published concurrently in the American magazine Harper’s Weekly.  The Harper’s serialization did include illustrations by John McLenan, which are linked below.

The original English three-volume book (1860) also did not include illustrations.  The 1861 English one-volume book included illustrations by John Gilbert, but only the frontispiece, below, seems to be available online.
