# Victorian Penny Dreadful Page Analysis This page combines illustration and running prose from a serialized Victorian penny dreadful titled "One Knight of the Road" (1871). The upper half features a wood-engraved illustration captioned "[THE DEAD BODY IS CARRIED TO THE INN]," depicting a rural scene with multiple figures gathered near a cottage. Below runs dialogue between characters named Dick and a landlord, discussing a woman whose body has apparently been brought to an inn. The conversation suggests she was previously unknown to the landlord but proves "invaluable" to him now. The page concludes with serialization information: "No. 216" and "will be Published next Monday."
