You can almost feel the sadness coming off these children, looking forlornly through a sewer grate, the little boy trying to reach down for a lost coin.
This image accompanied a short (very short!) story aptly called "A Great Loss"; it began: "Yes, little ones, you may as well give it up, it is quite out of reach - the cent is lost!"
Dorothy Tennant drew this picture, included in the
1890 Baby's Annual, published circa 1889.
I also played around with improving the clarity a bit - this one was my favorite! These are both in the public domain. Use them freely and enjoy! Click on either image for a larger version.
