Ethel's story: illustrating the advantages of patience
An 1856 children's moral story printed in Philadelphia by Perkinpine & Higgins, aimed at young readers and intended to teach patience through its narrative. The four pictures are small wood-engraved vignettes: a decorative initial with leafy tendrils, a child leaning over a grave to lay flowers, a ruined stone abbey among shrubs, and an ivy-wrapped initial beside text.
