Description

1892 1st ed Mark Twain American Claimant Samuel Clemens Beard Illustrated FAMOUS

â€œNothing breaks up an authors progress like having to stop every few pages to fuss-up the weather. Thus it is plain that persistent intrusions of weather are bad for both reader and author.”

â€“Mark Twain, The American Claimant

The American Claimant is an 1892 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. This comedy of mistaken identities is a classic tale of â€œgreener grass”. According to Twain himself, â€œNo weather will be found in this book. This is an attempt to pull a book through without weather.” This would be the first American fictional work to attempt to employ this method.

Including the frontispiece, this example has 24 line-drawings by Dan Beard. This would be the second Twain novel to be illustrated by Beard, the first one being A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthurs Court (1889). Twain was so enamored by Beards artistry, that he gave him creative freedom to interpret the text as he pleased.
