Illustration for chapter 43 of "evan harrington", once a week magazine, volume 3, page. In this scene, rose is reading the final letter juliana wrote to her, which she received along with the black-bordered letter announcing juliana's death. In it, evan's name is cleared. Rose is here depicted looking sad and ignoring ferdinand laxley, the man whom she became all-but-engaged to in her despair after learning that (as she thought) evan wasn't worthy of her love. Date: 22 September 1860.
