Heidi : her years of wandering and learning
Heidi: Her Years of Wandering and Learning is a children's novel by Johanna Spyri, translated and adapted by Louise Brooks, published by Cupples, Upham and Company in Boston in 1885 for young readers. The four pictures are small black-and-white wood engravings, mostly of figures in plain interiors and outdoor settings, with the publisher's advertisements framing some pages. A designer could take from them the compact, unfussy engraving style of 1880s American juvenile publishing, with its dense hatching and simple line-work.
