Depicted is a scan I did of a first edition, first printing of L. Frank Baum's THE EMERALD CITY OF OZ which features a cover illustration by Jno R. Neill. The image features Dorothy and the Wizard riding into Oz on a red Sawhorse-drawn carriage. Riding in the back seat are Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. Scarecrow and Tin Woodman are greeting them as they arrive (they're tipping their hat/oil can). Ozma and Glinda are standing on an Emerald City balcony. White difficult to discern, the green ink used is metallic.

Illustrator John R. Neill (a.k.a. Jno R. Neill) was born on this date (i.e. November 12ᵗʰ) 148-years ago.

Depicted is a scan I did of a first printing, first edition of L. Frank Baum's 6ᵗʰ Oz book "The Emerald City of Oz" (1910).
