Songs of the shining way
Songs of the Shining Way is an American children's poetry collection by Sarah Noble Ives, published in New York by R.H. Russell in 1899. Its pictures are black-and-white line drawings with flowing, decorative figures of children and young women, some framed in circles or set against stylised sky and foliage. A designer could take the sinuous contour lines, the bold silhouetted shapes, and the Art Nouveau-influenced figure poses.
