Original drawing by John R. Neill, rendered as a full color plate in The Marvelous Land of Oz (1904). The publisher’s staff artist hired to add color to this work was either familiar with Oz or well directed. The sixteen color plates appearing in the book’s first edition reflect the preferred colors of the country in Oz in which the depicted action takes place. This illustration of Glinda in the Good in her library, for example, is accented with shades of pink and rose to reflect the Quadling preference for red.
