Abstract
Recent work has examined the role of the illustrated periodical press in the late nineteenth-century vivisection debate, and this paper seeks to expand this discussion by considering the unique contribution of a popular title. Unlike the scientific images reproduced by some anti-vivisectionist journals, the Illustrated Police News—a sensational penny paper—produced original engravings that depicted animals surrounded by scientists prepared to operate, creating a sense of urgency and making animal expression visible. This paper considers the ways in which the Illustrated Police News's images went beyond those of its contemporaries and were designed to evoke human-animal empathy.
