Amidst the tranquil shores of Lake Lucerne in Old Axenstrasse, Switzerland, a mysterious figure speaks sharply, "I suppose you would think me mad, if I told you I was Bluebeard?" (litho). Elsewhere, in Heathcote, Ilkley, Yorkshire, a classic front hotel illustration stands against the test of time (colour litho). In the realm of literature, Walter Besant's "For Faith and Freedom" unfolds, depicted in an intricate engraving. Dressing for the occasion, a lightweight sheath dress by Mis Polly graces the figure of a woman, while a boy slides off a pony in an illustration full of youthful energy. Yet, danger lurks beneath the surface as an accident in a mine shaft was caused by the engine man at the pit head starting the movement. And as the tide turns, a desperate struggle ensues aboard a sinking ship.
