Bessie among the mountains
A children's story from 1869, published in New York by R. Carter and Bros. and written by Joanna H. Mathews for young American readers. The pictures are small black-and-white decorative ornaments: a symmetrical foliate panel, a leafy initial-style block, and scrolled vine borders with flowers and leaves, offering designers period-style ornament for headers, dividers and framing.
