Children Gardening, 1899

  This one makes me smile. A girl works in the garden, while the child beside her watches his sister, or maybe just daydreams...but certainly isn't doing any work!

  I tried - and failed - to find the "E.J.H." that is signed on this illustration. This will have to be one of those images where we need to enjoy the work without knowing the name of the talent behind it. (But...oh, I'd love to know!) 

   This one came from "Bertha's Garden and Other Stories", published in 1899.
