Busoni's Illustrations of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

From Illustrations in German Translations of Mark Twain's Works




In 1940 Die Abenteuer des Tom Sawyer und Huckleberry Finn was published by Williams & Co in Potsdam. As indicated by the title, this edition contains two novels in one: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as well as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Rafaello Busoni (*1900, † 1962) created a plethora of illustrations for this double edition. Of those images, 61 (including the cover image, flyleaf and frontispiece) are dedicated to Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
