Original poems, for infant minds

Taylor, Jane, 1783-1824, Taylor, Ann, 1782-1866 · 1834 · Philadelphia : T. Ash · 35 pictures

Original Poems for Infant Minds is a children's poetry collection by sisters Jane and Ann Taylor, published in Philadelphia by T. Ash in 1834 for young readers. Its small wood-engraved vignettes show rural and domestic scenes in a sketchy, dense hatched line that suits designers seeking an early nineteenth-century storybook look, with a traveller with a bundle, a seated man beneath a weeping willow, a man walking with two boys, and a family in a garden with a child holding flowers.
