Eugene M. Franzden, illustrator, lived from 1893-1972, so the illustration is presumably from a later edition that did not appear in Twain's lifetime. I presume you know that the engravings from the first edition were by a well-known political cartoonist who inserted recognizable public figures into his illustrations, presumably with Twain's knowledge and without objection.
