Original art: cover image for GALLANT LITTLE PATRIOTS

signed

1898 · n.p.

by Humphrey, Maud
n.p.: n.p., 1898. Signed and dated watercolor on board for a Gilded-Age children's book featuring cherubic kids dressed as real American heroes and heroines. This image was used on the cover of GALLANT LITTLE PATRIOTS, and on the inside of both that work and LITTLE HEROES & HEROINES, also published by Stokes in 1899. The watercolor depicts a little boy dressed as an injured soldier, holding a cane and saluting, next to two elaborately dressed little girls. Humphrey was one of the first great American women illustrators, paving the way for Jessie Willcox Smith, Grace Drayton, and the many other women illustrators of the early 20th century.
