Climbing a Tree

Black and white drawing of two Victorian children climbing a tree. The baby sits in the apple tree while the elder child supports them. Both look at the observer as if they are posing for their photograph to be taken.

1890 Baby’s Annual Pictures and Stories for Little People supplied almost 100 wonderful images for Reusable Art. D. Lothrop Company filed the copyright in 1889 but since they did not identify an illustrator or author, the copyright held for 120 years. How lucky are we, that these vintage images are now in the public domain?
