Jenning's First Appearance - Harper's Weekly Illustration

Description
Depicted is the first introduction to Ezra Jenning's character. Aligning with Collins' description, he is illustrated with darker skin and a slightly hooked nose, "exotic" traits associated with the people of the East. He is seen handing Betteredge a paper, as captioned. Age and class are prominent in this illustration through Betteredge's slightly frazzled hair, compared to the elegant and "put-together" image of Franklin Blake, who is also seated at the table.
