Apparently a trial binding or dummy of a proposed hardcover issue of Denslow's Pictures from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, not previously seen by this cataloguer, not in Schiller or Greene & Greene. This contains only 20 plates - the regular wrapper-bound issue commonly seen had 22. The book was comprised of the sheets of the 24 color plates (including the title-page) of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, with Russell's story printed on the backs of the plates. These sheets were purchased by Geo. W. Ogilvie, a small Chicago publishing house, following the bankruptcy of Wizard publisher George M. Hill. In this hardcover configuration, there are 40 pages in all, including the plates. Some of the pages have numbers, but others do not, and some of them have been neatly eradicated. The final text page is numbered 42, with the plate “Exactly so! I am Humbug” following it. In the wrapper-bound issue, the first plate, i.e. the title-page of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is obscured by it being pasted to the inside of the front wrapper, and the final plate, of Glinda on her throne, is similarly pasted to the inside of the rear wrapper. This issue does not have those two plates, nor does it have the two plates "The Stork carried him up into the air" and "'I was only made yesterday,' said the Scarecrow," which were at the center of the wrapper-bound issue. The text which was printed on the backs of these two plates is, of course, not present. In view of the character of this volume as a trial copy, it is presumed it is "as issued." Hanff & Greene p.124, Plate 110 (wrapper-bound issue).
