The descriptions in 'Jane Eyre' and the other Fictions by Charlotte Brontë and her Sisters being mostly of actual places, the Publishers considered that Views were the most suitable Illustrations for the Novels. They were indebted for a clue to the real names of the most interesting scenes to a friend of the Brontë family, who enabled the artist, Mr. G. M. Wimperis, to identify the places described. He made faithful sketches of them on the spot, and drew them on wood.
