Résumé : Date of publication taken from introduction : September 1900.
Published by arrangement with Harper & Brothers, New York.
This edition appears to be different then the one alluded to in the introduction by the illustrator, Louis Rhead. A portrait of Daniel Defoe is mentioned as the frontispiece, but this edition's frontispiece is a colored plate of Robinson Crusoe.
Except for the frontispiece, the colored plates are duplicates of the same illustration in black and white on the following page.
"The reason for the issue of yet another "Crusoe" lies in the fact that the artists have decorated the book from sketches made especially in the West Indies for the purpose....[of] showing the flora, fauna, and topical character of the scenes described, as well as to present an idea of the natural aspect of the island...." from intro. by Louis Rhead.
(Statement of Responsibility) by Daniel Defoe ; with nearly one hundred original drawings and decorations done from sketches made in the tropics specially for this work by the brothers Louis and Frederick Rhead
