EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of mischief and adventure that lies within Mark Twain's timeless novel, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". The frontispiece depicts a hero in action, embodying the spirit of rebellion against societal norms. Dressed in a straw hat and armed with a rifle, he exudes an air of confidence as he engages in poaching. The image transports us to a simpler time when hillbillies roamed the countryside, living by their own rules. The protagonist's mischievous grin hints at the thrilling escapades that await readers within the pages of this literary masterpiece. Intriguingly, we see a hare caught mid-leap, symbolizing both freedom and vulnerability.

Edward Windsor Kemble's expert engraving skillfully brings out every detail - from the texture on our hero's straw hat to the intensity in his eyes. This artwork is housed in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France - an institution known for preserving cultural treasures.
