"Scrooge and Marley's Ghost" - A.S. Hartrick

"Scrooge and Marley's Ghost"
Artist: A.S. Hartrick

OK, time for something more traditional!

Here's an illustration of a family scene from "A Christmas Carol" - Scrooge meeting Marley's Ghost, as depicted this time by A.S. (Archibald Stanley) Hartrick:

Funny thing is that I can't determine what this is from. As in, is it from some edition of "A Christmas Carol" and it's only one of a series? Is it a one-off for some other purpose? I can't track down any other "Christmas Carol" scenes  by him.

I'm not when it's frim either, but A.S. Hartrick was around from 1864-1950, so who knows?

What makes thing even more intriguing is that there's another version of this illustration by Hartrick, this billed as a "lithograph":

The two are quite similar, but not exactly the same.

Hmmm...
