I think we&#8217;d sell a LOT more copies of <em>Jane Eyre<\/em> at our store if it boasted this cover!<\/p>\n<p> Eichenberg&#8217;s engravings throughout the book reflect the dark, moody&nbsp;mystery of Charlotte Bront&euml;&#8217;s beloved story, and I dearly wish&nbsp;an&nbsp;edition sporting&nbsp;his&nbsp;shadowy&nbsp;images was still in print.
