Bobby in search of a birthday
A 1916 juvenile fiction book, Bobby in Search of a Birthday, written by Lebbus Mitchell and published in Chicago by P.F. Volland for children. Its pen-and-ink pictures show a small boy with a woman in a long-skirted dress, mostly in indoor and parlour settings, with loose sketchy linework and soft shading that a designer could borrow for quiet, casual domestic scenes.
