Dorothy and the wizard in Oz; a faithful record of their amazing adventures in an underground world, and how with the aid of their friends Zeb Hugson, Eureka the Kitten, and Jim the Cab-Horse, they finally reached the wonderful Land of Oz

Baum, L. Frank (Lyman Frank), 1856-1919, Neill, John R. (John Rea), ill · 1908 · Chicago : Reilly & Lee · 78 pictures

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz is a 1908 children's fairy tale by L. Frank Baum, illustrated by John R. Neill and published in Chicago by Reilly & Lee for young readers. The four pictures here are pen-and-ink line drawings with loose cloud and smoke shading, showing a horse-drawn carriage in the sky, a girl writing beside a winged figure, a sorcerer leaning from an open book, and a bearded man in a wide hat; a designer could take their energetic, looping contour lines and playful caricature for whimsical storytelling work.
