Item Description
1.25" beautiful multicolor depicting Billy arm-in-arm with what seems to be an Italian grocer and a white bear with blue umbrella. While art is unsigned, we believe it is by W.W. Denslow, noted for his Oz illustrations and a hardcover Billy Bounce book exists crediting Denslow as both author and illustrator. Button is c. 1905 and is complete with W&H back paper. Couple tiny gray dots barely show on outer edge. Extremely Fine. We've seen only four or so.
