The Catskill fairies

Johnson, Virginia W. (Virginia Wales), 1849-1916 · 1876 · New York : Harper & Brothers, Publishers · 40 pictures

The Catskill Fairies is a children's fairy-tale book by Virginia W. Johnson, published by Harper & Brothers in New York in 1876 for young readers. Its pictures are fine pen-and-ink wood engravings in sepia, showing a Native American woman beside a tent, a boy asleep in tall grass under broad leaves, boys below a tree, and a small winged figure among rocks, giving designers quiet, naturalistic woodland scenes with dense hatching and clear figure outlines.
