Jessie Grey; or, The discipline of life, a Canadian tale
A Canadian children's story published in New York by T. Nelson & Sons in 1871, the work of an author identified only as G. L. The pictures are decorative headpieces: wide strips of scrolling foliate ornament framing a central medallion, one with a flying bird, another with a thistle-like bloom. A designer could take the symmetrical banding and framed roundel layouts as models for borders and title panels.
