Figure descriptions
A woman kneels beside a young girl and teaches her to use a rifle. The woman kneels
on a bundle of grain. She wears a dress
and a hat which is tied under her chin but has fallen off her head. The young girl
wears a feathered hat. She holds the rifle with
both hands and aims it toward the right side of the illustration, behind the kneeling
woman. On the right side of the illustration,
a butterfly flies over a large flowering plant. A dog frolics beside the plant. The
woman looks over her shoulder to look at the
dog. The illustration title (which is also the poem title) is centered above
the illustrated scene and is curved in a slight arch. The illustrated caption appears
below the illustrated scene. Full
