Marco Paul's adventures in pursit of knowledge : City of Boston
Marco Paul's Adventures in Pursuit of Knowledge: City of Boston is a children's story by Jacob Abbott, published in Boston by B.B. Mussey in 1845 for young American readers. The small wood engravings show a crowd on a city street before a brick building with a cupola, a three-masted sailing ship on rough water, a tree-lined street with a church spire, and a domed building seen across a park. Designers could draw on their clean outlines, dense hatching and flat vignette framing for period illustration.
