(P. 45.)
Description:
A young man wearing breeches and a wide-brimmed hat has sat down at the foot of a tree to indulge in a snack, giving a morsel to his dog while his rifle rests in the crook of his arm.
(Given Boughton’s Hudson River School early influence, it seems the publisher’s choice to have him illustrate a story taking place in the Catskill Mountains might have been a discerning touch.)
