I am assuming this is in public domain. Image would be credited on book, which is a historical novel about travel on the Mississippi in the 19th century. Please let me know if you can provide this. Thanks,
Byron Grush

I’m looking for a series of books by William Donahey copyrighted in 1921, or so called “The Teenie Weenies” For Ex: “Down the River with the Teenie Weenies” (I have this one and one other, “”The Teenie Weenies Under the Rosebush.” I suspect there are more. I’d especially like the first one if you can find it.

The Greenaway illustrations are in a book called “Aunt Louisa’s Nursery Favorites” printed by Kronheim and published by Frederick Warne in 1870. [see Ruari McLean’s “Victorian Book Design.”] The ones in the McLoughlin book are by a different artist.
