Dramatic games and dances for little children
A 1914 American children's book of games and dances, published in New York by A.S. Barnes for young children, probably for kindergarten and nursery use. Its pictures are simple black line drawings of small children in dresses and smocks, framed in decorative title banners and panels, showing games like bending, stretching and crouching. A designer could take from them the clean, thick-outlined, rounded style of early twentieth-century nursery illustration and its playful panel layouts.
