The Heart of
Princess Osra
John Williamson, 1896
Longmans, Green &
Co.
Each of the 9 short stories about the
love-life of Rudolf III's sister Osra in the 1730s has its
own illustration. It has to be said that Osra is one of the
more annoying von Elphbergs, though not quite in the "Please
somebody kill him NOW!" category of Rudolf V...

Prisoner of Zenda
Dudley Tennant
Antoinette de Mauban, avenging her toy-boy Duke Michael's life and her own honour, pursues Rupert von Hentzau with a pistol, but, unfortunately for everyone, misses... (Rupert looks a bit old here, and 'Toinette not as frantic and dishevelled as one would expect after attempted rape.)

Rupert of Hentzau
W. E. (or B.) Webster
Queen Flavia and Hon. Rudolf Rassendyll,with Col. Sapt and Lieutenant von Bernenstein.
(Ignoring the framing device in the text, as did Gibson, the artist depicts Flavia in contemporary dress, rather than some 20 years before the book was written.)
