The parent's assistant; or, Stories for children ..
The Parent's Assistant, an 1820 New York children's story collection by Maria Edgeworth with woodcut illustrations by Alexander Anderson, printed by E. Duyckinck and G. Long for young readers. The four small woodcuts show scenes of everyday boyhood, with bold black line work and dense hatching that a designer could borrow for a rustic, moralising children's look.
