Illustration of books -- United States

Pen and ink illustration of a man facing right wearing a pointed hat over head-neck gear that covers his shoulders. A pouch hangs on his right side and he is wearing elf shoes. He is holding a blunderbuss gun under his right arm with both hands and has it pointed at an owl who is looking at him with its wings spread while sitting on a tree branch, the trunk of which is behind the man to the left. Beyond the tree down the hill is a house.

Johnson, Clifton, 1865-1940
