Description: Rebecca Sharp stands in the center of the picture at the base of the staircase to Crawley mansion, scowling up at the man on the stairs. He is holding her trunk on her shoulder with his other hand in his pocket, and, though assumed by the others to be a porter, is Sir Pitt Crawley. To the right of the image, John, the Sedley’s groom, is leaning against his carriage with a smirk on his face. In the background the corner of the Crawley mansion and a neighboring house are lightly sketched. Below the illustration is printed its title and location in the story, “REBECCA MAKES ACQUAINTANCE WITH A LIVE BARONET (p. 37.)”.
