# Victorian Penny Dreadful Page Analysis This page contains an illustration accompanied by running prose text. The engraving depicts a dramatic scene captioned "[BISHOP, THE OFFICER, TRIES A SHOT AT BLACK BESS.]" showing a mounted figure on a dark horse and people near what appears to be a fortified structure or tower. The visible prose describes action involving characters named Maud, Hunch, and Bishop. The text recounts Maud's courageous attempt to escape through a window, Hunch's remarkable strength in holding the window open, and Bishop's pursuit on horseback. It appears to be from "No. 214" of this serial publication, priced at one halfpenny, with "No. 215" promised for the following Monday.
