Lady Jane Grey: Her Life & Times : Page 4 : Lady Jane Grey & "The Prince and the Pauper"

In 1881 Mark Twain wrote the book "The Prince and the Pauper" about Prince Edward Tudor and a pauper, Tom Canty, switching places. Lady Jane Grey appears in the story meeting Tom while pretending to be the Prince. There have been many versions of this book over the last 125 years and many have been illustrated or in comic form, and some have illustrations of Jane with the "Prince" or Lady Elizabeth (future Queen Elizabeth I). This page contains images of Jane from various versions of the story.
Those that belong to My Collection will have in the text section of the image "My Collection" plus what info I know about the image.

Those that I've found in other resources, online, or items I was unable to get, will just have the info I have on it.

Notes: It's apparent the artist of this comic book did not go for any sort of accuracy. Jane was approximately the same age as Edward (Tom Canty in this scene) and was apparently not very tall as it was. She also did not have black hair and the clothes are not very Tudor in style.
