Julian: a Legend of Ravenshurst - illustrated by R. P. Leitch, 1861. Illustration to a poem by Katherine Saunders: 'Terrace peacocks shrieking coarsely, Warn him of the people’s hate; And the ravens, croaking hoarsely, Clamorous watch the coming he heard a mother singing, In a ruined cot apart; And her shrill voice, wild and ringing, Like a dagger smote his she sang how children perished, Daily in the stricken land, While the feudal lord was cherished In his princely castle grand'. From "Illustrated London News", 1861.
