The book of children's parties
A practical guide to planning children's parties, written by Mary and Sara White and published by The Century Co. in New York in 1903 for mothers and hostesses. Pen-and-ink vignettes of party props — a sectioned ball, a coiled tape measure, a tipi and feathered headdress set into lines of type — sit alongside halftone photographs of costumed children at games, offering rebus-style text insets and small object spots.
