Thanks for the pictures.  I plead guilty to seeing something in an 
illustration that does not comport with my mental images and finding it 
the least bit jarring.  Watching the hole in the toe of Pap's shoe 
migrate between the right and left shoe in Benton's illustrations of 
Huck Finn can distract me (It should be the left).  There are pluses 
and minuses for every illustrator dictated by the preferences of each 
viewer.  Learning the stories behind the work is very interesting, 
though.  I appreciate your sharing you knowledge.  I hope I can find 
other work on this subject accessible on the internet.
Jerry
