The treasure chest of my bookhouse
The Treasure Chest of My Bookhouse is a 1920 Chicago anthology of stories for children, edited by Olive Beaupré Miller and illustrated by N. C. Wyeth. The four pictures are horizontal and vertical panels in black, ochre and muted green line-and-colour work, with flat areas of colour, strong contour lines and decorative trees. A designer could take their bold silhouettes, layered foliage and simplified folk costume as a model for storybook-style graphics.
