"N is the Nabob who lives in great state, Who is very much vexed when his supper is late." The illustration depicts a tiny Indian man with a large turban sitting on a large pillow and wielding a knife and fork.
"O is the Owl who thinks he is wise, Because he was given such very big eyes."
"P was the Pumpkin as yellow as gold, That makes Jack-o'-lanterns so funny and bold." The illustration depicts two boys wearing Jack-o'-lanterns on their heads.
Denslow was well known for including a seahorse as part of his signature as can be seen under the letter "N." |
| Contextual Notes | W. W. Denslow was an illustrator and caricaturist best remembered for his work in collaboration with author L. Frank Baum, especially his illustrations of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Born in Philadelphia, Denslow spent brief periods at the National Academy of Design and the Cooper Institute in New York, but was largely self-educated and self-trained. |
