This illustrated edition of The Arabian Nights was published specially for Encyclopedia Americana by The John C. Winston Company, featuring sixty illustrations, several in color, by Adeline H.

There is no writing, highlighting, or ownership marking of any kind. Shelfwear is minimal and limited to very light edge rubbing. This is an attractive, well-kept example of a classic illustrated children?s edition, well suited to collectors of early American gift books, Arabian Nights editions, or Adeline H. Bolton's work. Adeline H. Bolton was an American illustrator active during the 1910s-1920s, recognized for her richly detailed, color plate illustrations for children's classics and popular literature. Her work blends decorative Art-Deco-era stylization with narrative clarity, often featuring strong color palettes and dramatic compositions. Bolton illustrated several subscription and gift editions, and her Arabian Nights illustrations are especially admired for their imaginative interpretations of Near Eastern folklore and fantasy themes.
