Young folks library
Young Folks Library is a children's literature anthology compiled for young readers, published in Boston in 1902 by Hall and Locke, with Thomas Bailey Aldrich among its named contributors. The four pictures are small black-and-white line illustrations of animals in natural settings: a snake in grass, an octopus on the seabed, a banded snake among mushrooms and reeds, and a bee in front view. A designer could take from them the economical hatching and stippled shading typical of early twentieth-century school-book natural history plates.
