Recollections of Auton house : a book for children
Recollections of Auton House is a children's book written and illustrated by Augustus Hoppin, published in Boston by Houghton Mifflin in 1881. The pen-and-ink drawings show domestic scenes of a woman with a child by a fireplace, a messy bed with children tussling, a woman carrying children with a small boy, and a girl in a bonnet with a muff and parasol, offering a designer loose, sketchy period character studies with plenty of hatching for texture.
