I Feel Wise, Indeed
Pictures by W. W. DenslowWords by L. Frank Baum
W. W. Denslow's Scarecrow, spectacles on and cane in hand, stands with the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Woodman and Dorothy, and inside he declares that once he gets used to his brains he shall know everything. The art comes from the 1900 first edition of L. Frank Baum's first Oz book, with Denslow's original colour plates rather than the later film. For someone who has just earned their wisdom.
