Tom all alone's
phiz (hablot k. Browne)
1853
etching
5 x 3 3/8 inches on a page of 8 7/16 x 5 inches
facing p. 442 (ch. 46, "stop him!") of dickens's bleak house. [although the text calls this area "tom-all-alone's," the caption in the first edition has "tom all alone's" — no hyphens and different capitalization. The oxford illustrated dickens, which rather bizarrely puts the plate several pages into the following chapter — 14 pages from where it should appear — has "tom-all-alone's. "].
