Young girl, cat and mouse

A young girl holds a small mouse in a cage while a curious cat looks on. The most striking aspect of this image is the fine detailed work on the girl’s face. This vintage, black and white image could easily be used in a variety of ways and is in the public domain and free to download. I found it in a book written by Clement Clark Moore (1779-1863) from 1884 and entitled Christmas Rhymes and Stories: original and selected. Including a Visit from Santa Claus.
