The Sleeping Child: Nursery Songs and Rhymes
A child sleeps beneath patterned covers in a garden-like setting of trees and small flowers. A thick rectangular border twists together leaves, stems and pale animal-like forms. The caption credits Mary J. Newill and names the nursery-song volume from which the design was reproduced.
