First edition (1900) of "The Golliwogg's Polar Adventure" by Florence Upton

While the Golliwogg is an old friend, and his placid beauty is well-known, we never saw him very cold before, and his Polar Adventures reveal new beauties - and the bracing climate seems to suit his complexion, and that of his companions. In the Polar regions they look even more robust than the natives!
