I just noticed this tag on my post from a long time…It mostly comes down to the text layout and the overall size and format of the edition.

These are all more or less complete editions as far as I can tell, there’s nothing to suggest that any of them has been abridged.

So, this is an English edition and an Italian edition and as you can see, they’re both BRICKS.

The Italian version contains a few illustrations but the English version contains none.

This is what the text looks like:

Here’s an Italian edition and a French edition. They’re not nearly as big but they’re taller and WITH illustrations.

and this is what the text looks like and it looks messier.

I’m really happy that one of the illustrators from an edition I own FINALLY got the recognition they deserve! There’s barely any information about illustrators in general and some editions don’t even mention their names.

Bonus:

These are just a few clips from the episode.

I love when book editions try so HARD to give you the best experience! Investing in the beauty of books is IMPORTANCES.

THE CHERRY ON TOP

Illustrated by Renato Guttuso (Italian edition, 1966)

I know illustrations might not be entirely accurate many times but like…WHY? It doesn't even suit him.

It’s the 1892 poster “Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant” by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

I’m so excited cuz I’ve always loved seeing traditional clothing in movies, series, illustrated books, and especially DOLLS!!! even if they’re not very accurate most of the time and sometimes even controversial but they’ve still helped my interest grow over time.

This is “The Complete Costume History” by Auguste Racinet, a 2019 TASCHEN reprint with color illustrations. It was originally published in France between 1876 and 1888.
