Additional Details

A very charming, though unattributed, illustration showing a free-spirited American girl. Likely intended for a children's serial publication like St. Nicholas and The Youth's Companion, it exhibits the spirit and style of Wilkinson-Brown, Fannie Cory, and similar turn-of-the-century illustrators.
