Bylow Hill – George W. Cable's new novel

1902

Step into the high-society drama of 1902 with this illustration for George W. Cable’s novel *Bylow Hill*. F.C. Yohn captures a tense social moment in a lush garden, where two women in elaborate, ruffled dresses appear to be having a significant encounter under the watchful eye of a stern gentleman in a top hat. Painted in a classic academic style, the loose, painterly strokes evoke the humidity and rustle of silk typical of Southern literature, making you wonder what secrets are being whispered behind those fans.
