Story Time Circa 1917

I've always purchased old children's books from house content sales. This scan is from "Happy All Day Through" by John G. Bowman, Illustrations by Janet Laura Scott, published in 1917. Unfortunately the book is in horrible condition, but with the magic of Photoshop, I was able to repair the holes, rips, and tears. It looks perfect online. Don't you love this charming vintage image? This mother wasn't reading a book, she was telling her 3 little ones a story from memory and the children are spellbound. So nice. Click on photo to enlarge. Love the big cozy chair, don't you?
