The rainbow stories for summer days and winter nights
A collection of moral tales for children published in London in 1871, illustrated with wood-engraved plates signed with a monogram and aimed at family reading. The pictures are quiet interior and doorstep scenes of women, children and mourning men, drawn in dense cross-hatching with strong blacks in cloaks and shadowed rooms against pale aprons and pinafores, useful for period costume detail, gesture studies and figure silhouettes against light-filled windows.
