The dairyman's daughter ; The young cottager ; and The African servant : authentic narratives--abridged

Richmond, Legh, 1772-1827 · 1856 · New York : American Tract Society · 1 picture

A tract society narrative collection by Legh Richmond, published in New York by the American Tract Society in 1856, offering abridged religious stories of cottagers and servants for a general Protestant readership. The single plate is a dense black-and-white wood engraving showing a figure sprawled on a rocky path beneath a tangled overhanging tree, with a distant building glimpsed through the foliage; a designer could draw on its dense crosshatched linework and heavy shadowed foliage for dramatic rural scenes.
