Légende

Eve's Ransom by George Gissing, 1895. Illustration by Walter Paget, to a novel, first published in 1895 as a serialisation in the Illustrated London News. Maurice Hilliard, a mechanical draughtsman, comes into some money, which enables him to live without working. He discovers a portrait of a young woman - book-keeper Eve Madeley - and decides to find her. "Eve's Ransom" was published in a single-volume edition immediately after its serialisation, which was unusual at the time.
