Artful anticks
Artful Antics is an 1894 American collection of comic verse for children by Oliver Herford, published in New York by the Century Co. and drawn from the Library of Congress. Its pictures are loose pen-and-ink sketches with hatched, scratchy shading and small whimsical figures, such as a fairy riding a bee and a sprite in grass, showing how economical line can carry fantasy and humour.
