Numerous illustrated editions of The Spy have appeared in the last two centuries. Editions including etchings were issued in the Netherlands and France as early as 1827. In the United States, a number of artists created stand-alone depictions of scenes from the novel and published them in magazines and holiday gift annuals, but the first illustrated American edition, with drawings by Felix Octavius Carr Darley (1822–1888), did not appear until 1859. In 1924, the first two editions with color illustrations appeared, and both were produced by American publishers: the Riverside Bookshelf edition from Houghton Mifflin, with paintings by Harold Mathews Brett (1880–1955), and a volume from Minton, Balch, & Company, with eight full-color plates by American illustrator C. LeRoy Baldridge (1889–1977). Although an undated reprint of the latter edition was issued by Garden City Publishing Co. (a division of Doubleday) during the following decade, Baldridge’s remarkable paintings have been otherwise unavailable to readers during the last century. This edition reproduces all eight plates by Baldridge, digitally restored from a copy of the 1924 Minton, Balch edition.
