Country Girl in a Pumpkin Field - Boxed Halloween Cards

BLANK INSIDE

This charming illustration, featuring a country girl amidst a pumpkin field, evokes the essence of crisp fall air. Created by Dorothy G. Henderson, this artwork beautifully captures the spirit of autumn's harvest season. It was made for the 1932 book The Picture Book of Poetry, a lovely compilation assembled by Marjorie Barrows, the famous editor of Child Life magazine. This image accompanied Carl Sandburg's atmospheric poem Splinter, written below.

See this image as a Single greeting card, and as an art print!

The voice of the last cricket
across the first frost
is one kind of good-by.
It is so thin a splinter of singing.
