Illustration’s by William Wallace Denslow(1856-1915) for his book Denslow’s Mother Goose.He’s probably best known as the illustrator for L.Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” .Denslow is such a fascinating artist to me for his time his drawings look pretty modern the limited colors,minimalist backgrounds, bold choices like just having a shape as a background,and his cartoonish thick outlined designs are pretty graphically ahead in kids book illustration for the early 1900s shame he didn’t illustrate the other Oz books don’t get me wrong I love John R Neil but Denslows art just has a odd charm to it I want to see in the other Oz books.

Great Panel by Cartoonist H.M Bateman probably one of the best ever British cartoonist what I like in this one is how the man’s rage is represented in this grotesque abstract blob of anger and how the whole world seems to bend to his frustration in the background.Not to mention the great poses and facial expressions.
