The Quest of the Four-Leaved Clover is a 1910 Boston and New York children's story by Édouard Laboulaye, retold by Walter Taylor Field, set in Arabia. The four pen-and-ink pictures show desert riders, a canopied camel litter, a camp of robed figures and dogs, and a veiled woman with a dog in the sand. A designer might take from them the loose, sketchy line of turn-of-the-century book illustration and its strong figure-and-horse silhouettes against blank paper.
