The Bookshelf for boys and girls Book of Wonders and Curious Things
A 1912 children's miscellany from New York's University Society, a compilation of curious facts and marvels for boys and girls. The four pictures are grey wash and pen illustrations of the sea: a sunfish drifting near a sailboat, a wave-broken hull, a dark mass with tentacled sea creature in rippled water, and a steamship in a line-drawn border. Designers could take the atmospheric tonal layering of wash shading and the decorative horizontal panel frame.
