Parlor Decoration
ome printed advertisements served
as decorative art in people's homes. This calendar for
Osborne implements recalls "The Barefoot Boy," a
popular print based on a John Greenleaf Whittier poem. "The Barefoot Boy" remained in print for at least
thirty years and spawned a whole sub-genre of prints
portraying romanticized scenes of rural childhood in
America.
