Artful anticks
Artful Anticks is a children's poetry collection by Oliver Herford, published in New York by The Century Co. in 1894, aimed at young American readers. Its pages are printed with rhyming verse set beside small pen-and-ink drawings of animals, insects and birds, many running sideways across the page. A designer could draw on the spare line work, the loose hatching, and the playful pairing of small creatures with humorous verse.
