Young folks library
A turn-of-the-century American children's anthology, the Young Folks Library, compiled under the name Thomas Bailey Aldrich and published in Boston in 1902 for young readers. The pictures are small black-and-white pen-and-ink engravings of sailing ships at sea, several with decorative drop-cap initials, showing rigging, wind-filled sails, rough water and a small open boat; a designer could draw on their hatched line work and nautical vignette shapes.
