Charles Dudley Warner's novel *A Little Journey in the World* supplies the title for this cover, and the color lithograph pairs its figures in the dress and manner of the 1890s. Harper & Brothers published the book in New York, and cover designs like this one were a lively part of the decade's book trade, when color lithography made eye-catching illustrations practical for publishers. The record credits the design to "E.P.," and the cover shows how publishers tried to hint at a story's tone before a reader opened it.
