Louisa and Tom at the circus.

Sleary and his daughter Josephine, in her costume as an equestrienne.

The following illustration reproduces
the cover of the Household Edition of Hard Times, which
was published in a booklet with a green paper cover—similar
to the print edition of Discovering Dickens. Indeed, this illustration
will be used as the cover of all of the issues of Hard Times
in this serialization.The publishing mark on the cover (D. Appleton
and Co., New York) is different from that inside the book (Chapman
and Hall, London).
