The brownies through the Union
A children's poetry book by Palmer Cox, published in New York by The Century Co. in 1895, following brownies, small fairy-like folk, on a tour of the United States. Its pencil-line pictures show crowds of brownies in pointed caps, tall hats and mismatched outfits marching, running and riding bicycles through woods and hills, giving a designer a lively model for whimsical character groups, rhythmic crowd movement and quirky period costume.
