Examples of goodness : narrated for the young
Examples of goodness, narrated for the young, published in Philadelphia by J.W. Moore in 1853, is a moralising children's storybook of the mid-nineteenth century, drawn from American print culture for young readers. Its two hand-coloured plates show children in rural settings, with soft outlines, flat washes of colour and wide landscape backgrounds that a designer could borrow for a vintage palette or a simple scene of childhood country life.
