Lower portion of spine leather split over hinge, lower edges a little rubbed, else fine. First edition. The title page bears the signature ÒR. L. StevensonÓ and there are fifteen charming and accomplished ink illustrations in the margins throughout the book. Unfortunately, neither the signature nor the drawings are in the hand of ÒourÓ Robert Louis Stevenson. An overlay of a copy of this signature and that of RLS's from our R.L. Stevenson catalogue item # 212 (STEVENSON, Robert Louis. Across the Plains with Other Memories and Essays. London: Chatto & Windus, 1892) match exactly, leading us to believe they are both the work of Eugene Field, the younger. The even more intriguing question remains: Who drew the illustrations? A roundup of suspects include: RLS himself. He had a bit of artistic talent and at one time had written out some detailed thoughts regarding how to illustrate certain of the poems. However, these drawings do not match his suggestions. His stepdaughter, Belle. She is said to have remarked to the present owner that this, one of her most precious possessions, had been hand delivered to Bayntun in England to be bound early in World War II. A query to the binder resulted in the opinion that it had been bound by them sometime prewar. But then again, Belle had a flair for sketching and had been an art student in Europe when she and her mother had met Stevenson. She is a real possibility. His good friend the artist Will Low. They had had serious discussions concerning the production of an illustrated edition (the first edition had not been illustrated). Kate Greenaway. Admittedly, this would be a stretch, althought some of the ink drawings are Òin the school ofÓ. Charles Robinson. He was the artist for the first illustrated edition which came out in 1895, a decade after the first. Eugene Field II. Well, why not?. [Beinecke 192]. $3500.00. #12798
