Young folks library
A late nineteenth-century children's anthology compiled for young readers, published in Boston in 1902 and drawn from the Young Folks library series, with an uncredited wood-engraved style of illustration. The four pictures show a boy holding a cap beside a girl and small child, a boy reading at a table stacked with books, a youth with a young woman at his side, and village girls with a basket while a boy runs past; a designer could take from them the tidy line-hatched engraving style and its clear, narrative poses.
