Booktryst takes a dive into the famous tome.
From the piece...
Noel Paton contributed two illustrations for the first edition of 1863. Linley Sambourne provided 100 illustrations to the edition of 1885. Warwick Goble produced thirty-two tipped-in color plates for the 1909 edition. In 1915, W. Heath Robinson rendered eight color plates and miscellaneous black and white text illustrations to Constable & Company's edition.
As wonderful as those editions are, however, none are quite as beloved as Hodder and Stoughton's edition of 1916 with twelve gorgeous color plates and green and white text illustrations by Jessie Wilcox Smith.
