Nursery rhymes
A nursery rhyme collection published in New York by Cornish, Lamport, & Co., dated 1800 in the catalogue record, meant for young children. The hand-coloured woodcut pictures show domestic scenes: a woman with a girl at a shop counter, a red-cloaked child with an older woman beside a tree, a mother and child at a gate, and a seated figure with a crowned attendant behind a red curtain. A designer could take bold flat colour blocks, simple outlined figures, and the naive storybook staging.
