Created by renowned artist Hablot Knight Browne (Phiz) after an original work, this print showcases a scene from Charles Lever's novel "Jack Hinton, The Guardsman". The illustration depicts Bob Mahon, a central character in Lever's gripping tale. With intricate detail and masterful technique, Browne brings Mahon to life as he confronts the enigmatic figure known as the "Widdy". The intensity of their encounter is palpable through every stroke of the engraver's hand. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are reminded of its significance within literary history.
