The Hugh Thomson Illustrations of Northanger AbbeyHugh Thomson's black and white line-art illustrations, first published in 1897, give us another version of Da Man; because of the nature of the illustrations, he appears to be fair-haired, although the High Priestess believes that to be an optical illusion. There are some seriously attractive images of Da Man here; observe the rakish angle of the hat in this picture. He is often portrayed in action, on horseback, or accompanied by his dogs. Thank you, Mr. Thomson, wherever you are, for these striking images of Da Man!
