Journeys through Bookland : a new and original plan for reading applied to the world's best literature for children

Sylvester, Charles Herbert · 1922 · Chicago : Bellows-Reeve · 112 pictures

Journeys through Bookland is a 1922 Chicago anthology of children's reading, compiled by Charles Herbert Sylvester and published by Bellows-Reeve for young readers working through classic literature. The pictures are black-and-white line illustrations with flat, stylised figures, dense hatching, and decorative patterned fields; a designer might borrow their economical ink linework, silhouetted forms, and Art Nouveau-influenced patterning for period-style graphics.
