Coloured Plate from How and Where We Live

Isn't it adorable?!

From How and Where We Live, an Open Door to Geography by Nellie B. Allen and published in 1924. There are several colored plates in the book by several different illustrators. They are so lovely. Marguerite Davis is the illustrator for some of the colored prints, E.M. Wireman did others, and a few have no illustrator credits.
Davis was a Boston artist who illustrated several children's books.

I haven't found any good samples of either of these illustrator's works on the web, so I posted this one. It's by Wireman and reminds me of our son and nephews playing down by our creek.
