- note: Charcoal drawing, signed «Пастернак» lower left. Five men in dark suits seated in a row, one in glasses — jurors/assessors at the district court. Part I, trial chapters (Ch. 19–27). Pasternak captures the bored, self-important air Tolstoy satirises.

- note: Charcoal drawing. Interior of a women’s prison ward; barred windows let in dim light. Several women in grey prison dress; one stoops over a bed, another reads a letter, a third sits head in hands. Katyusha’s prison life, Part I. One of the most atmospheric interior views in the series.

- note: Charcoal drawing. Long corridor; rows of prisoners crowd cage-fencing on both sides; a uniformed warden stands centre. Depicts the prison visiting hall Nekhlyudov must navigate to see Katyusha (Part I, Ch. 43–44). The perspective and press of bodies is striking.

- note: Pastel/chalk drawing in blue-green tones. A lone figure stooped against rain and wind on a wet street lit by gas lamps; steam or fog rises from the cobbles. Depicts Katyusha homeless and desperate after being turned out — the night before the Easter meeting that seals her fate. Part I, backstory. One of the most expressionistic plates in the series.

- note: Pastel/chalk. A woman in a grey dress and white headscarf sits bent over a book at a small table; blue lamp burns beside her. Possibly Katyusha in her prison cell reading — or one of the political prisoner women (Vera Bogodukhovskaya/Shustova) introduced in Part II. Intimate, contemplative mood.

- note: Charcoal drawing, c. 1900. Nekhlyudov in bed, wide awake, resting on crumpled pillows — identical composition to res-awake-002 but from a different printing/source, sharper. Title “The Awakening” (Воскресение). Part I, Ch. 1 — the novel’s literal and symbolic opening image.

Relates to the flashback Easter night when young Nekhlyudov seduces Katyusha — the night that defines the entire novel. Part I backstory.

- note: Charcoal drawing. Chapter 74. A woman prisoner (Katyusha) stands at a heavy cell door; a stout warden in peaked cap and decorated uniform holds a ring of keys. The scene captures the dehumanising lock-and-key machinery of prison life. Part I–II.

- note: Charcoal drawing, 1911. Russian description on Commons: «Политические на полу-этапе» (political prisoners at a half-étape way-station). Five or six figures huddle around a lantern; dark interior. This is the world of the political deportees Katyusha comes to know in Part III — Simonson, Rantseva, Bogodukhovskaya. A 1911 date suggests it may be a later revised plate for a post-serialisation edition.

Crowell & Co., 1899). This is the authoritative English-edition frontispiece; the 1899 date confirms it as an original serialisation-era plate.
