The chatterbox book of soldiers and sailors

Robinson, Anna, Weir, Harrison · 1910 · Boston, D. Estes · 102 pictures

The Chatterbox Book of Soldiers and Sailors is a children's illustrated book published in Boston by D. Estes in 1910, with texts by Anna Robinson and pictures associated with Harrison Weir. The four pictures are wood-engraved scenes of deck life on sailing ships, with sailors, a boy in a bright coat, and officers in cocked hats; a designer could take their crosshatched line, rigging-filled backgrounds and period costume as reference for nautical or historical themes.
