Description:
This illustration by John McLenan (scanned by Phillip V. Allingham) shows Pip meeting Miss Havisham. While this is a different artist than the previous illustration, both photos manage to capture some aspecs of Miss Havisham's lavish life. The vanity pictured in both illustrations is described in the novel as a "draped table with a gilded looking-glass," (Dickens, chapter 8).
