New York: G. W. DIllingham Co., 1904. Hardcover, green cloth covered boards, paste-down illustration. 239pp. illustrated endpapers. 9-1/4″ x 7 1/4″
This is a 1st edition of The Pearl and The Pumpkin by W. W. Denslow and Paul West, published in 1904. Denslow illustrated The Wonderful Wizard of Oz four years earlier. The two books share similar story-lines; here again a young farm girl is whisked off to a fairy land full of strange, fanciful characters.
The Pearl is one of the best examples of Denslow's work. There are dozens of in-text and cutaway illustrations, 16 full-color plates, with unique, inventive layout design and graphics throughout.
This book is complete, and in very good condition. The binding is sound, and all the plates and illustrations are bright and clear. There is a small repair on pg. 119 (see photo) about 1 cm square. An inscription on the front endpaper is dated 1904. There's a little fraying on the bottom of the cover spine and the lettering on the spine is fading.
