Journeys through Bookland : a new and original plan for reading applied to the world's best literature for children

Sylvester, Charles Herbert · 1922 · Chicago : Bellows-Reeve · 86 pictures

A 1922 Chicago anthology by Charles Herbert Sylvester, published by Bellows-Reeve, meant as a children's reading guide that gathers the world's best literature for young readers. The pictures are black-ink line drawings with bold flat shapes and patterned textures, showing a couple under a tree, a bearded king with a knight, a figure chained beside a fireplace, and a woman with a cloak by a lake. A designer could borrow the economical black-and-cream line work, dense hatching, and decorative pattern in clothing and foliage.
