What you’re looking at
# Page 169: "Rose Mortimer; or, The Ballet-Girl's Revenge" This page contains an engraved illustration labeled "[SELLING A WIFE.]" depicting a woman standing before a group of men in what appears to be a street scene with buildings in the background. Below the image is dialogue in which the woman explains she came from "below" and was in a house; a man (apparently called Merment or "the Arab necromancer") discusses having potentially prevented a murder, while another voice insists "Tis not murder." The scene suggests a dramatic confrontation involving accusations and moral debate about a crime.
