Journeys through Bookland : a new and original plan for reading applied to the world's best literature for children
This is a 1922 Chicago anthology for children, Journeys through Bookland, compiled by Charles Herbert Sylvester and published by Bellows-Reeve as a graded reading plan built on the world's classic children's literature. Its pictures are black-and-white line illustrations: a dense woodland scene with a small figure, a shipwreck-like scene of a figure and a boat on a shore, a decorative ornamental drop cap, and a seated youth in classical dress looking over a landscape. A designer could take the fine pen hatching, the ornamental initial letter framed in a shield, and the sparse outline style for storybook or heritage-themed layouts.
