Journeys through Bookland : a new and original plan for reading applied to the world's best literature for children
Journeys through Bookland is a 1922 Chicago anthology of children's literature compiled by Charles Herbert Sylvester and published by Bellows-Reeve, arranged as a graded reading course for young readers. The four plates are colour illustrations in differing styles: a decorative interior with a seated woman, a lady in striped dress with a swallow, a group of storybook characters gathered around an open book, and a figure in an octagonal frame beside gold coins and castle towers. A designer might take from them the mix of art nouveau pattern, flat poster-like silhouette, and early twentieth-century storybook colour palettes.
