One More Step, Mr. Hands, And I'll Blow Your Brains Out edit

Original - "'One More Step, Mr. Hands,' said I, 'And I'll Blow Your Brains Out.'" Jim Hawkins, the young protagonist and narrator of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, threatens pirate Israel Hands, with two pistols. Illustration by N. C. Wyeth for the 1911 edition of the book.

Reason: As promised, another hi-res scan of a PD children's book illustration. (Yes, earlier generations considered Treasure Island a kids' book). A propos of nothing, see here [1] for the 1885 edition's illustration of the same scene in the book. Besides-- we need a good POTD for September 19.
