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

Pen and ink illustration of a boy wearing a conical hat, buttoned jacket, striped pants, and buckled shoes facing left in front of a door. He is pulling a string protruding from the doorway from above him with his right hand and is holding books in his left hand. A bespectacled man peers out the window behind him and a black bird sits on top of the opened window pane. A duck drinks from a tub of water that sits beneath a gutter farther back along the building, beneath a tree. There are houses in the background.

Johnson, Clifton, 1865-1940
