Item Overview

Description

WILLIAM WALLACE DENSLOW (1856-1915) THE CHICAGO TIMES-HERALD. 1895.
41 5/8x27 7/8 inches, 105 1/2x71 cm. Empire, Chicago.
Condition B+: restored losses and repaired tears in margins; vertical and horizontal folds.
Denslow was a book illustrator (designing over 100 covers for Rand, McNally & Company), and a cartoonist for magazines and newspapers in addition to being a poster artist. He entered the national consciousness in 1899, as illustrator of L. Frank Baum's Father Goose, His Book, and went on to great fame illustrating the first Oz books. This charming allegorical image shows an actual merger between a herald and a princess. He designed at least one other poster for the Herald before the paper merged with the Times.
