Title:

Pictures from the Wonderful Wizard of Oz...with a story telling the Adventures of the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Little Girl by Thos. H. Russell

Author:

Denslow, W. W.

Place Published:

Chicago

Publisher:

George W. Ogilvie

Date Published:

[c. 1903]

Description:

42 pp. 22 color illustrations by Denslow. 8½x6½, original chromolithograph wrappers, red cloth spine. First Edition.

The pictures comprise all of the color plates from Geo. M. Hill Company edition of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, but two of them are pasted face down on the insides of the front and rear wrappers, as issued, so only the blank versos are visible. Russell's story is printed on the backs of the plates. Bienvenue & Schmidt suggest that this was produced as a give-away for audience members at the 125th performance of the theatrical version at the Majestic Theatre in 1903. Bienvenue & Schmidt p.146.

Condition:

Light wear to wrappers; three inner-most pairs of conjugate leaves detached from staples; very good.
