This is a charming reproduction of a Harrison Cady illustration. It features a 'wise owl' teaching a classroom of attentive students -- animals and insects, set in the woods.  It is matted in ivory with a simple gold frame, which measures 15" x 20", and would make a wonderful addition to a child's bedroom or playroom or the perfect gift for your favorite teacher!

Harrison Cady (1887-1970) was a noted illustrator, born in Gardner, Massachusetts and best known for his works in Bedtime Stories, a daily-newspaper created by book and magazine writer Thornton W. Burgess.  Burgess conceived the character of Peter Rabbit (not to be confused with Beatrix Potters creation of the same name), and each of these Bedtime Stories was illustrated with a drawing by Cady, who had illustrated some of Burgess magazine stories as early as 1911.
