The book of joyous children
The Book of Joyous Children is an American children's poetry anthology by James Whitcomb Riley, illustrated by Will Vawter and published in New York by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1902 for young readers. The pictures are pen-and-ink scenes of children playing outdoors, with loose scribbled foliage, light hatching and a warm cream ground, which a designer could use as a model for gentle, hand-drawn sketch illustration in nature settings.
