	<p>The first American edition of <i>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</i> (1885) was published with 174 illustrations by E. W. Kemble. These images constitute an integral dimension of the novel's original reading experience and may influence how Mark Twain's characters, settings, and narrative situations are visually imagined by readers. Despite their significance, the illustrations occupy a relatively small place in existing scholarship on Mark Twain and his novel — a gap this project seeks to address.</p>		<p>The first American edition of <i>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</i> (1885) was published with 174 illustrations by E.
