Joel: a boy of Galilee
Joel: a boy of Galilee is a 1918 children's story by Annie Fellows Johnston, published in Boston by The Page Co, set in the time of Jesus and aimed at American young readers. Its four plates are painted, sepia-toned scenes of Middle Eastern village life with robed figures, stone walls, a thatched shelter and a tree, showing a designer a restrained, historical-costume approach to biblical storytelling in warm earth tones.
