Bright little poems for bright little people
A children's poetry collection compiled by Catherine Wheeler and published in San Francisco by the Whitaker and Ray Company in 1902, aimed at young readers. The pictures are small, loose pen-and-ink line drawings with dark scratchy linework on cream paper, showing a roosting hen, a long curling stream or thread, a child peering at a path toward a cottage, and a figure crouched over a dish. A designer might take the economical sketch style and the playful, whimsical storytelling of the vignettes.
