"Q are the Questions you ask of your Pa, When he tells you 'Don't bother, but go ask your Ma.'" The illustration depicts a young boy asking a question of his father who is sitting in an armchair and reading the newspaper.
"R is rhinoceros, always on show, Who is haughty and lazy and awfully slow." |
| 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. |
