Cranch, Christopher Pearse.The Last of the Huggermuggers: A Giant Story. By Christopher Pearse Cranch. With illustrations by J. Watson Davis. New York: A.L. Burt, Publisher, [ca. 1902].


Davis, J. Watson. Illustration for The Last of the Huggermuggers. Caption: "He didn't stop to choose, but picked up the first that came to his hand." p. 13. 28.5 x 180 cm.

This is a nice example of a non-Alger book in which Davis had a hand. It was probably published in 1902, before Burt incorporated, based upon the publisher statement and the presentation inscription in this copy.
