THE PARK PUBLISHING COMPANY ILLUSTRATIONS 563

Reproduced here are the illustrations that first appeared in initial Park Publishing Company printing of Life and Times. As the present editors have explained at length in the "Textual Afterword," Frederick Douglass singled out the garish woodcuts as crudely sensational and inappropriate for a work of the kind that he had created. Whether he felt the same way about the more finely wrought engravings is not a matter of record. Honoring the author's expressed intention, the editors have included no illustrations in the critically reconstructed text of the autobiography.
