Journeys through Bookland : a new and original plan for reading applied to the world's best literature for children
An American children's literature anthology compiled by Charles Herbert Sylvester and published in Chicago by Bellows-Reeve in 1922, arranged as a graded reading plan of classic stories for young readers. The pictures are black-and-white line engravings in a fine-hatched, decorative manner, showing medieval knights and battles, a colonial-era skirmish, and a courtly scene with a crowned king and a woman bearing a sword, with a designer able to draw on their dense cross-hatching for dramatic, storybook-style linework and period costume.
