Journeys through Bookland : a new and original plan for reading applied to the world's best literature for children
A 1922 Chicago teaching anthology of children's literature by Charles Herbert Sylvester, published by Bellows-Reeve, meant for young readers working through a graded reading plan. The pictures are initial letters A, P, T and H, each set inside an ornate shield-shaped frame with a serif capital over a dense field of scrolling filigree. A designer could take from them a model for a framed decorative initial built from a plain serif letter and a tightly patterned scroll background.
