"Awful Appearance of the Shade of Remus to Romulus" is a wood engraving by John Leech, a prominent 19th-century English illustrator. The artwork depicts a scene from Roman mythology where the ghost of Remus, the twin brother of Romulus, appears to Romulus in the middle of the night. Remus is shown as a ghostly figure with a round head and a cloak, standing behind Romulus who is lying in bed, scared and hiding under the covers. The engraving is done in a simple, detailed style typical of Leech's work, which often satirized contemporary social issues.
