Going for a Walk

Charming black and white drawing of a brother and sister going for a walk. He’s dressed in a little sailor suit and she has a simple summer dress and hat on. They’re pulling am empty little wagon behind them. The story in which this appeared is telling the tale of a mischievous little kitten who escaped the cart while the children’s backs were turned.

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?
