Emerald City - Oz Wiki - The Wonderful Wizard of Oz A very faithful illustration of the Emerald City City as it appeared in the original book by L. Frank Baum in The Emerald CityEmerald City the Emerald City and most relevant city in the magical Land of Oz. It stands in the very center of Oz, being the official imperial capital of the entire country. It's founder is L. It first appeared well over one hundred Emerald City ago Emerald City Baum's first Oz book titled The Wonderful Wizard of Ozpublished in It is introduced in the eleventh chapter of the novel titled The Wonderful City of Ozand is often referred to as the " City of Emeralds Emerald City in the original text. The city is a very important key element in the book, being the protagonist's desired destination throughout a good majority of the story:. When a little Kansas farm girl named Emerald City Gale and her pet dog called Toto are swept away by a cyclone and transported to the undiscovered realm called "Oz", Emerald City becomes determined to find a way Emerald City to her beloved guardians; Uncle Henry and Aunt Em. The only one believed to be powerful enough to send Dorothy home where she belongs is Oz's most dominant ruler, the great and wonderful, yet mysterious and reclusive Wizard who resides in an emerald encrusted city. The Emerald City glows in the landscapes distance! Illustrated by W. Denslow Popular artist and close friend to L. Frank Baum, W. Denslow was known for being a rather successful children's illustrator in the late 's. John R. Neill would later illustrate the rest of Baum's Oz stories in the early 's, which were sequel books to his first Oz novel. But Denslow's artwork is more well known for being the original drawings to the story that started it all. Denslow's Oz interpretations are still more popular compared to John's later Oz interpretations. When collaborating with Baum, Denslow used many different bits and pieces taken from various different structures from places all around the world. It is very likely that the late " White City " was the main inspiration. This real life city was once a recreational center and famous for it's world's fair and was also a place L. Frank Baum himself visited and was truly inspired by. The White City of Chicago was originally envisioned to be like " Luna Park " and "Dreamland ", both state of the art American amusement parks built to entertain the general public in the late 's and early 's. The themes and architecture of Emerald City city buildings also seemed to channel the "Crystal Palace" at Sydenham in the circa 's. In the later Oz books It is highly likely that the hotel known as "Hotel Del Coronado" in California, influenced Baum's description as well as Emerald City the artwork by Neill. Del Coronado was built in and has a rather glamorous history as many iconic Hollywood celebrities and notable people have visited or stayed there, such as L. The road stops Emerald City at the emerald studded gates which is connected to the green marble wall that surrounds the entire city. The city is a magnificent Emerald City indeed, being described as stately, statuesque, imposing and even intimidating. The equal of which has never been seen or discovered, even Emerald City other enchanted realms and fairylands. In fact, it is so magnificent that a bright green glow can be seen far off into the distance many miles away that shines brightly high up, above the city and into the sky even in broad daylight. The closer you get to the city, the more its glow intensifies, and becomes brighter and brighter until everything surrounding the city, including the rays of the sun appear to be of a greenish tint. The handsome wall that circles the city is described as being incredibly solid and immense. It is very thick and of the finest green marble, polished smooth and studded with a perfusion of giant sparkling emeralds and green gems. These countless gems all glisten and dazzle in the sun Emerald City so brightly, it could blind one if they were not careful. Along this great green wall are four gate openings set at distances with two tall solid gold pillar towers on each side of it's entrance. The towers are there for the Emerald City soldiers aka the Royal Army of Oz can watch for any enemies or unwanted intruders, which is rarely, if ever. At the top of the wall is a wide walkway that is spacious enough four soliders can walk abreast upon it, side by side with ease. These four city gates also face each of the four vast quadrants in Oz. Surprisingly, the gate on the west wing of Oz, originally did not have any type of road of which lead to the Winkie Country of Oz like the others lead into their own directions they faced. This is because no one wished to ever venture west since the people of Oz were far too cautious to trespass on into the Wicked Witch of the West 's turf. Because this Wicked Witch had already imprisoned and enslaved the natives of the Winkie Country called Winkies. And the Witch Emerald City not hesitate to do the same with any intruders, so people stayed far away, resulting in the Emerald City administrators not wanting to be responsible for the horrible fate of any Ozians. Thus, resulting in not having a legitimate way for people to travel into the western quadrant. Not until the Wicked Witch was ultimately liquefied and destroyed by Dorothy Gale of Kansas was there a road that ran through her country. After her demise the Tin Woodman Emerald City, became the new monarch ruler there to take her place. When the Emerald City was first built, the thick high wall of polished marble Emerald City surrounded the entire city was all green and covered with giant sparkling emeralds. However, the city itself, while mostly all green and still decorated with millions of big green jewels and precious gems was entirely not. Many other stones are used as Emerald City inside the buildings such as rubies, diamonds, and sapphires, yet outwardly only emeralds appear, which is why the place is called the Emerald City. The glasses became mandatory by the Wizard's law and the people who became residents were all told they had to wear them for their Emerald City good. To keep the glasses in place, the glasses consist of two 24 Karat gold bands on each side that reach all the way around to meet at the back of the wearer's head. Then the Emerald City bands are securely locked on tight. As long as the gold bands are locked on the glasses are unable to be taken off, even if one wishes to do so. They must eat, sleep, bathe and go about their daily routines while wearing them. Even the animals of Oz who come to Emerald City are expected to wear the green tinted eye wear. When Dorothy and her friends first entered the city for the very first time, before Emerald City into the city's streets they first found themselves all in an office-chamber. Much like a service entrance that is described as an all green room with a high bejeweled gothic ceiling. This chamber room is where the staff of administrators and servants work, this is also where the spectacles are held. Once visitors have the spectacles adorned, they are lead to a huge round circular door that resembles a large vault. To divide and separate the streets from the sidewalks, thousands of large emeralds are neatly lined up along the marble as curbs, making blocks and neighborhoods for the citizens.
