As It Seems To Me
by Elbert Hubbard, 1898
#24 of 40
This book was illustrated by Clara Schlegel, R.W. and G.E.
This book contains illustrations and illuminations by Clara
Schlegel, who collaborated with Denslow on a few books during this period.
Note the illustrated vignette of a cat on the ending flyleaf. It initially looks
too crude to be Clara but I believe kind of a joking parody of a cat. The
initials are right and match the coloring of all other vignettes done by her in
the book.
This book measures 9" x 5 5/8" and has 138 pages. The text body is set in Old
Style Antiqua. The book was bound in full leather and illustrated/illumined by Clara Schlegel and
unknown artists R.W. and G.E. #1 to 4 of this book as
were decorated entirely by W. W. Denslow. Each of these first 4 books is said to have 35
original watercolor sketches and decorated initials. McKenna noted none had been
found for confirmation. The book above is one of them bound in full vellum, ties
missing. This book is listed in the 1899 catalog and sold for $10.00
