In 1874 Dr. William Henry Venable and Henry Farny teamed up to create a new textbook, Dramas and Dramatic Scenes, aimed at aspiring actors and dramatists. Given Farny became a member of the Literary Art Club in 1872, whose membership included William Henry Venable, it seems no accident that the pair teamed up for multiple projects over the years.
What’s unique about this book is that Farny’s name appears on the title page as the illustrator of the book.
The book contains six images by Farny:
Page 9: Mercutio
Page 46: Braggadocio
Page 89: The Three Caskets
Page 153: The Greek Girl and the Barbarian
Page 237: Jaffier and Belvidera
Page 314: The Forlorn Hope of Mona
