Original Illustrations to Trollope's Novels
Later and More Recent Publications
J. E. Millais [The Duke of Omnium propositioning Mme Max Goesler], Phineas Finn
- Trollope, Anthony. Christmas at Thompson Hall. New York: Harper Bros, 1876.
Produced as a separate novella, this edition contains all eight of the comic illustrations of
William Small as they originally appeared in the 1876 Graphic Christmas number.
They are comic and appropriate. If not very carefully drawn, they tell a good deal about how the
publisher and illustrator thought the public would read this short story.
- -----------------. The Claverings, introd. Norman Donaldson. New York: Dover,
1977. A republication of novel as it first appeared in the 1867 Cornhill. It includes the final page
of Chapter
VI mistakenly excluded from all other editions, and all sixteen full-page illustrations and chapter
heading rubrics drawn by Mary Ellen Edwards.
- -----------------. Can You Forgive Her?, introd. David Skilton. London: The Trollope Society,
1989. This edition includes the complete original set of 40 illustrations, 20 by Hablôt Knight
Browne('Phiz') and 20 by Miss E. Taylor.
- -----------------. Framley Parsonage, introduced by Antonia Fraser. London: The
Trollope Society, 1996. This edition contains all six of John Everett Millais's original full-page
illustrations for the first serialisation and edition of the novel.
- -----------------. The Golden Lion of Granpère. New York: Harper and Bros.,
1872. This is the first American edition of the novella and includes the eight full-page, eight half-
page and eight quarter-page illustrations by Francis Arthur Fraser, each aligned or dropped into
precisely the appropriate point in the text. (The complete set of twenty-four illustrations may also
be found in copies of the serialisation in Good Words which ran from January
through August 1872.)
- -----------------. He Knew He Was Right, ed., introd. P. D. Edwards. St. Lucia,
Queensland: University of Queensland Press, 1974. This edition is a reprint of the 1869 edition
corrected by a
study of Trollope's manuscript. It includes all the rubrics and full-page illustrations by Marcus
Stone; however, they are placed at the back of the book.
- -----------------. He Knew He Was Right, introd. Robertson Davies. London: The
Trollope Society, 1994. This edition includes the complete set of Marcus Stone's full-page
illustrations placed as they appeared in the original edition. However, it does not include the
rubrics.
- -----------------. Kept in the Dark, introd. Derek Parker. London: The Trollope
Society, 1997. Includes as frontispiece the original full-page frontispiece by John Everett Millais.
- -----------------. The Last Chronicle of Barset. New York: Harper and Bros,
1867. Contains all thirty-two full-page illustrations and twenty-eight of thirty-two vignettes.
George Housman Thomas drew sixty-four illustrations for the 1867 Smith, Elder first edition.
This is the best edition to study. The engravings are beautifully reproduced; the book numbers
also include the original dustjackets which are relevant to understanding how the book was
perceived and who was its original audience.
- -----------------. The Last Chronicle of Barset, introd. A. N. Wilson. London: The
Trollope Society, 1997. Twelve of the original set of thirty two full-page illustrations are
reprinted. The choice of illustration is very puzzling.

of the 1862 Chapman and Hall edition; it contains all forty of John Everett Millais's full-page
illustrations.
- -----------------. Orley Farm, introduced by John Mortimer. London: The
Trollope Society, 1993. It too contains all forty of Millais's illustrations.
- -----------------. Phineas Finn, The Irish Member, introduced by J. Enoch Powell.
London: The Trollope Society, 1989. This edition contains all twenty of the original full-page
illustrations by John Everett Millais.

Trollope Society, 1990. This edition contains all twenty-four of the original full-page illustrations
by Francis Montague Holl.

Everett Millais.
