John Rae

First published 1917
Type Interior Art

  • "The illustrations include [12] full-page etchings in color and more than 100 reproductions in the style of old-fashioned wood cuts." --brief anonymous review, Courier-Journal (Louisville KY) 1917-10-22 p6 "Delectable Juveniles", as the first of two "among the early [holiday season] arrivals at this desk"
  • Two of the illustrations are reflexive.   That at the end of Chapter I, Found in the Attic, shows a hand picking this book from the top of a stack (but its front cover title is More Adventres of Alice).   The last page of the novel (p. 157 viewed at HathiTrust) shows the running chapter header; some text; a drawing of Alice; more text closing "And that was the end of the story in the book that Betsy found in the attic."; and the drawing of an open book in hand, with the right-hand page showing the same five elements.
