Huckleberry Finn first edition illustrations

If you liked today's hilarious Tom the Dancing Bug, made of repurposed illustrations of the first edition, check out the E.W. Kemble Wikipedia article I started, then treat yourself to more of Kemble's Illustrations for Huck Finn via University of Virginia. Shown here is Huck in drag. Kemble's work is possibly even more controversial than Twain's, as he became known for now-controversial depictions of African-Americans that rarely get seen today.
