Haliburton First Reader Illustrations, 1912

Vintage illustration of children in winter clothing with an old-fashioned sled in the background
    
  Okay, I'll admit my fail. I spent way too much a bit of time trying to find the illustrator of these images (I especially love the one above!) but I came up short. I even ran some samples through AI to see if they could figure it out where my research fell short, and I got a different answer every time. Sigh.

     But we can still enjoy the images without knowing who created them! The one above is an illustration to go with a "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" poem. 

Illustration of three girls playing with flowers in a field

   These are all from "The Haliburton First Reader", written by Margaret Winifred Haliburton, published in Boston in 1912.
