Journeys through Bookland : a new and original plan for reading applied to the world's best literature for children
A 1922 Chicago anthology of children's literature by Charles Herbert Sylvester, published by Bellows-Reeve, built as a graded reading plan for young readers. Its pictures are black-and-white pen and ink illustrations by several hands, including Louis Rhead-style signed plates, showing knights in combat, a forest scene with a woodsman, sailing ships on rough water, and a tale-teller in a tall-hatted costume. A designer might take bold hatching, dark silhouetted water, and crisp line work for period storybook decoration.
