Image 2 - All The Year Round

“Wilkie Collins worked more closely with Dickens than any other writer,” (Schlicke 632). Schlicke argues that because Dickens took on Collins as a "protégé," Dickens was able to claim some control over his work (632). Schlicke notes that as Collins novels were serialized, "Dicken's name as editor stood at the top of every page-opening" (632). Dickens is said to "valorize male bonding and chivalric English superiority," and that is shown through this issue of All the Year Round.

 This front page contains absolutely no illustrations. By excluding illustrations, the reader is entirely reliant on how they interpret the novel. While the section does create a sense of othering with Rosanna, the narrative is lamented more effectively with the addition of illustrations. Dicken's magazine lacks the creative perspective that the illustrations bring. Being able to view specific quotes in a different context than just plain text can change the entire reading experience of a novel. The quote that was explicated in Harpers Weekly barely stands out in All the Year Round as the whole section is depended on the text that makes it up. 

The interactive experience is limited as the reader has no other tasks but to read. Analyzing a picture is not an option as there are no pictures to examine. The images are a nice feature to accompany the othering narrative, and while that narrative still shines through in the direct text, it has no photos to enhance and strengthen it as Harpers Weekly did
