Figure descriptions
Three men stand together and pull on ropes, ringing a bell which is not included in
the illustration. A fourth man sits with
his back turned to the viewer. The seated man appears to be in conversation with one
of the first three men. A fifth man stands in
the background and holds an illuminated lantern. This illustrated scene is contained
within a single-ruled circular border. There
are four bells placed around the perimeter of the circle, appearing to form a square.
Pieces of ribbon float around the border among
the bells. Below the border, the poem title, “New Years Day”, is partially surrounded
by a rectangular border. The left and right
edges of this border connects with the circular border above. 1/2 page.
A young girl stands with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She wears a feathered
hat. The title of the poem, “Happy New
Year”, appears below the girl in hand-drawn lettering. 1/32 page.
