Kemble was a notoriously racist artist. His animal illustrations are not done in minstrel-style as comic grotesque, but some of his human figures are; I have not included the image below in the Simon and Susanna story for that reason. For more about Kemble's racist art, see this blog post: Kemble illustrations.
