"A Christmas Carol" (1900 Edition)
Illustrator: Frederick Simpson Coburn
We go back to the early 1900s, exactly 1900 in fact, for another interesting edition of "A Christmas Carol."
This one has illustrations by Frederick Simpson Coburn (1871-1960). I think they're really nice and they tend to show some of the less common incidents.
There are actually two types of illustrations here, "regular" interior ones and some fancy full-page ones billed as "photogravure."
The fancy ones are on the right side of the page and they have what appears to be tissue paper on the opposite page, presumably to protect them. The tissue paper has the caption in red.
Here are those "fancy" ones. I took the liberty of adding the captions to the blank space under the picture. The first one is the frontspiece, so it's out of chronological order.
I think these are just great and I love that Martha and Topper got shout-outs!
