Interior book illustration for The Dolly Dialogues by Anthony Hope (New York: R. H. Russell, 1901). Charcoal on board. 907x625 mm; 35⅝x24½ inches (image). 44½x27¼ inches (frame). Signed in lower right image.

The Dolly Dialogues first appeared in the Westminster Gazette during the paper's inaugural year, 1893, and was published in book form the following year. It was republished numerous times in both Britain and America, with one edition even featuring illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Christy's illustrations were produced for this New York edition, widely considered the most lavish version.
