Does anyone know who the illustrator was for this? Because I had an old illustrated book from my mother which had the almost exact same style and I wonder if it's the same artist.

[(Anonymous)]

according to the cover it's Jno (Ino?) R. Neill

the font is hard to read and my copy is quite aged.

[kamino_neko]

Jno is an old (and...kinda weird) abbreviation for 'John'.

[fishnchips]

Thank you! ... I think that's a different guy then, but the style is very similar. Must have been the roughly same time.

[kamino_neko]

John R Neill, who illustrated most of Baum's Oz books.

[fishnchips]

Thank you!

[ozaline]

All of them except for Wizard, the spin-off Wogglebug book, and the Queer Visitors from Oz comics. He also illustrated all of Ruth Plumbly Thompson's books, then took over writing duties himself.

His books are considered some of the weakest, and weirdest.

[fishnchips]

His illustrations are quite pretty, though.

[ozaline]

Oh yes. And to be fair some of the problems with the books he wrote might be from editorial interference, but yes his illustrations are amazing.
