Illustrated by Harry Furniss for the Testimonial Edition published in 1910, it depicts Lady Dedlock and Jo in a scene that evokes both sympathy and intrigue. In this powerful illustration, we see Jo gripping onto the bars of his prison cell while gazing into the depths of Lady Dedlock's soul. His eyes are filled with longing and desperation as he pleads for understanding. Meanwhile, Lady Dedlock retreats to a corner, her body language betraying fear and vulnerability.
