Stuff and Nonsense Classic Reprint Arthur Burdett Frost Books

Fantagraphics have done a wonderful job assembling the 1884 edition of STUFF AND NONSENSE in a new and beautifully produced edition...but I have a few quibbles with this volume.

Firstly, this book is NOT the complete STUFF AND NONSENSE of A. B. Frost. Frost printed a second edition in 1888 where he redrew quite a few pages and added some more limericks and illustrations; some were added to replace racist Irish caricatures, but Frost took the opportunity to rework or restage some of the earlier drawings and make them more animated, or in some cases changed the stories completely. There is a completely different ending to THE BALLOONISTS in the 1888 edition (and it is much better than the earlier version.) It would have been great if we could have compared the two versions in the new edition since they reflect Frost's maturation as an artist in the intervening four years.

And while I am delighted to see THE BULL CALF reprinted, I note that Fantagraphics have simply taken the Dover Books edition from 1975 and blown up the images. It would have been better if they had gotten one generation closer to the originals and used a period copy.

Perhaps the alternate 'takes' of Frost drawings can be included in a future edition. This is a must have for any animator or illustration historian.

It's fine, reproduction isn't that great, little annotation or notes. Better is the recently published Fantagraphics version if you want collectibility.
