Heads of the people, or, Portraits of the English / drawn by Kenny Meadows with original essays by distinguished writers.
A popular work, to which Thackeray and Jerrold contributed some of their earliest sketches. These literary sketches were written to the pictures and not, as some have imagined, the pictures drawn in illustration of the letterpress. cf. Academy, 1874, II, 360.
