The wonder clock, or, Four & twenty marvelous tales : being one for each hour of the day

Pyle, Howard, 1853-1911, Pyle, Katharine, d. 1938 · 1887 · New York : Harper & Brothers · 236 pictures

The Wonder Clock is a 1887 New York collection of twenty-four fairy tales written and illustrated by Howard Pyle, with text by Katharine Pyle, intended for children. The pictures are pen-and-ink line drawings with dense hatching, showing medieval-styled figures in courtyards and woodland, plus small black-and-white woodcut-style initials; a designer might borrow the crisp contour line work and decorative chapter openers.
