Chimes for childhood
Chimes for Childhood is an 1868 Boston anthology of children's poetry compiled by Dana Estes and published by Lee and Shepard. The pictures are small wood-engraved ornaments, including a symmetrical urn with scrolling acanthus leaves, a floral spray with ribbon, and a laurel wreath with a torch and ivy. A designer might take from them the Victorian decorative vocabulary of scrolls, foliage and ribbon for borders, dividers or chapter-opening headers.
