The looking-glass for the mind, or, Intellectual mirror : being an elegant collection of the most delightful little stories and interesting tales

Berquin, M. (Arnaud), 1747-1791 · 1844 · Baltimore : Parsons & Preston · 60 pictures

A children's story collection by Arnaud Berquin, a French author, issued in Baltimore in 1844 by Parsons & Preston for young readers learning good conduct. The four small woodcut vignettes show boys and girls in late eighteenth-century dress in garden, village and street settings, with a dog present in several. A designer could take their tidy framed borders of swags and ribbons, and their clean, linear woodcut hatching for period-style decoration.
