EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, created by renowned illustrator Edward Penfield for Harper's August 1896 issue, heralds the beginning of a new Mark Twain story titled "Tom Sawyer Detective." The lithograph, published by Harper Publications in New York, showcases two individuals, a man and a woman, seated side by side, deep in thought as they leaf through the pages of an open Harper's magazine. The man, dressed in a green suit, leans on an elbow, his expression one of intense focus, while the woman in a black dress, her face turned towards him, appears thoughtful and intrigued. The August issue of Harper's, with its distinctive lettering and the enticing tagline "Tom Sawyer Detective, a new story by Mark Twain," lies between them. The image, a beautiful example of late 19th-century American art, exudes an air of heritage and nostalgia, inviting us to imagine the excitement of discovering a new Mark Twain story. This stunning lithograph, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the enduring appeal of literature and the power of illustration to transport us to another time and place.
