Gwendoline; or, Halcots and Halcombes
Gwendoline; or, Halcots and Halcombes is a Victorian children's story published in 1885 in Philadelphia by the American Sunday-School Union, written by Agnes Giberne. The pictures are black-and-white wood engravings with fine hatched shading, showing well-dressed women in period costume, a sickroom scene, a seated lady with a lace cap, and a young woman by the sea, offering a designer clear models for nineteenth-century dress, interiors and quiet domestic drama in hatched line work.
