These illustrations, by John McLenan,

Uniform Edition of 1859. The cover illustration for this issue
reproduces one of the engravings prepared by “Phiz” (Hablot K. Browne)
for the monthly numbers of the novel (A
Tale of Two Cities was published simultaneously in a weekly and
a monthly format). The weekly serial of A Tale of Two Cities was not
illustrated.

The maps reproduced in this issue,
which show Paris before and during the French Revolution, are taken
from the Plan de la Ville de Paris
en 1789 and the Plan de la
Ville de Paris, Période Révolutionnaire, 1790-1794.
The maps were prepared, in 1887, at the direction of the Municipal
Council of Paris, and are valuable as historical and comparative
documents. They are reproduced in detail for greater legibility and
convenience of reference.
