The 1861 volume starts with the 471st number of the magazine, illustrated by 'Gilbert' (probably Sir John). In 1863 coloured plates are given monthly, three being after originals by the same artist, but, although attributed duly in the advertising pages of its wrapper, the name of the design does not appear in the index. With 1864 a surprise faces you in the illustrations to _Hurlock Chase_, which are vigorous, dramatic, and excellently composed, full of colour and breadth. That they are by G. Du Maurier internal evidence proves clearly, but there is no formal recognition of the fact. Robert Barnes has a full page, _Granny's Portrait_ (p. 825). _Enoch Arden_ is by 'an amateur whose name the publishers are not able to trace.'[4] In 1865 the illustrations to _The Awdries_, also unsigned, are distinctly interesting; later the well-known monogram of J. Mahoney is met with frequently. In 1866 a series of ten illustrations of the ceremonies of modern Jewish ritual, domestic and ecclesiastical (pp. 72, 167, 216, 328, 376-475, 540, 603, 653, 823) appear. Contrary to the rule usually observed here, they are entitled, 'by S. Solomon.' These are, so far as I know (with four exceptions), the only contributions to periodical literature by Simeon Solomon, an artist who at this date bade fair to be one of the greatest pre-Raphaelite painters. They are distinctly original both in their technical handling and composition, and excellently engraved by Butterworth and Heath. For their sake no collector of the sixties should overlook a book which is to be picked up anywhere at present. The illustrations to _The Great Van Bruch property_, unsigned, are most probably by J. Mahoney. Others include _George III. and Mr. Adams_, a full page by C. J. Staniland (p. 494); a series of _Pen and Pencil Sketches among the Outer Hebrides_, R. T. Pritchett; _Finding the body of William Rufus_, J. M. In 1867 J. Mahoney illustrates the serial, _The Heiress of Cheevely Dale_, and contributes a full page, _The Blue-Coat Boy's Mother_ (p. 812); Whymper has two series, _On the Nile_ and _A trip through the Tyrol_, both oddly enough attributed to him in the index. Silent, with scarce an exception, as regards other artists, the sentence, 'engraved by Whymper,' finds a place each time. In 1868 are more Mahoneys; in 1869 Charles Green illustrates the serial.
