Pen drawing, American
Mother Goose rhymes
Illustration of books -- United States

Pen and ink illustration of three men armed with blunderbuss guns standing on a beach wearing tall black and white hats and what look like spatterdashes on their calves. The man on the left is wearing a ruff. The man in the center with his back turned has a knife in its sheath tied around his waist. The man on the right facing forward is gesturing with his left hand to the sea behind him. A ship is beyond on the horizon. They are under the sun or moon, which is partially covered. Clouds are in the sky.

Johnson, Clifton, 1865-1940
