    • HathiTrust Digital Library provides full view of 1891 printing with identical front cover, publisher, and page-count: "List of Illustrations", p.ix-xiv, lists initial letters, head- and tailpieces, and other small illustrations, as well as full-page b/w plates that are included in the pagination (more of full-page plates than the 24 in some later publications); uncredited, many legibly signed "Dan Beard". Library of Congress report of the 1889 Chatto & Windus 1st UK ed. -- "with 220 illustrations by Dan. Beard.", probably quoting the title page, OCLC 36014848-- evidently fits this edition.
