Plot

Late 19th and early 20th century images are reproduced in sepia duotone for children and collectors. Each two-page spread offers a surprising visual treat: Beholding Beauty - a beautifully dressed and adorned Kikuyu couple; Fluted Fingers - a wandering Japanese Zen monk playing a bamboo recorder; Man and Machine - a proud drill press operator at his station; and Working the Bandwagon - the Cole Brothers Circus Band on an elaborate 1879 Lion and Mirror wagon. A-Z information pages with image details send the reader back for another look.
