Boy watching the clouds, 1905

Illustration of a boy laying on the grass with his arms crossed behind his head, staring up at the sky.

  This boy is kicking off summer right - arms behind his head, lying in the grass, watching the clouds. No stress, no fuss. 

  Illustrator Josephine Bruce (from my home state of Massachusetts!) created this image for "Songs for Tom, Dick, Bob & Peggy", a book of songs published in 1905. This picture aptly accompanied a song called... wait for it... "Clouds".
