Journeys through Bookland : a new and original plan for reading applied to the world's best literature for children
Journeys through Bookland is a 1922 Chicago anthology of children's literature compiled by Charles Herbert Sylvester and published by Bellows-Reeve, arranged as a graded reading plan for young readers. Its pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings with hatching and loose shading, showing a rider on an ostrich, a knight with a sword in a battle scene, a woodland procession of costumed figures, and a sailing boat beside a tall-masted ship. A designer could take from them a economical black-line vocabulary of storybook adventure, with open paper areas and directional strokes suited to editorial spot illustration.
