American moral tales, for young persons
A moral tale collection for children, written by Dorothea Lynde Dix and published in Boston in 1832 by L.C. Bowles and B.H. Greene. The pictures are small rough woodcut-style engravings of domestic and outdoor scenes, some rotated on the page, showing children, a seated woman by a fireplace, a figure in a garden, and a tree-lined yard, useful for designers seeking early American rural or household motifs with simple linework and strong black-and-white contrast.
