Magwitch under sentence of death. "A broad shaft of light came in through the great windows of the court. Rising for a moment, a distinct speck of face in this ray of light, the prisoner said, "My Lord, I have received my sentence of Death from the Almighty, but I bow to yours." Illustration by Harry Furniss for the Charles Dickens novel Great Expectations, from The Testimonial Edition, published 1910.
