WILLIAM WALLACE DENSLOW (1856-1915) THE CHICAGO TIMES - HERALD. 1895. 24x15 inches, 61x38 cm. [Empire, Chicago.] Condition B+: losses and tears in margins, some affecting image; creases in margins and image; stickers on verso along tears; pencil notations in bottom margin. Paper. 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. Denslow designed at least one other poster for the Herald before the paper combined with the Times. This is the smaller format.
