Many moons ago I picked up a 1912 copy of Arnold and Beatrice Gesell's book
The Normal Child and Primary Education. I wasn't particularly interested in the content (though it did contain this gem: "Mumps disfigures a child's behavior long before it does his face.") so much as I found the cover very striking. On it was a rendering of a work by Lucy Fitch Perkins, entitled
Strengthen the Little Hands That Must Carry on the World, but it looked much creepier than the title would indicate.
