Folk dances and games
A 1908 folk dance and games book by Caroline Crawford, published in New York by A.S. Barnes & company, drawn from Cornell University Library holdings and aimed at teachers and children. The single plate is rotated sideways on the page, showing a group of figures in long skirts and shirtsleeves dancing or playing around a low table with a bowl. A designer could take its loose, sketchy crowd gesture and the rhythm of linked bodies for movement-based layouts.
