![Illustration of a sharply-angled street view of a brownstone building, rendered in a clean-edged simplified style. The colors are rich and mellow against the creamy paper - reddish brown, muted blue-green, light purplish pink, white, light grey, and black. Along the bottom, the white sidewalk, shaded with grey and black along the left side, angles up to the right slightly. A simple railing, rendered in black with teal highlights, separates the building from the street. Below street level the building is pink; the top portions of a window and an arched door under the stoop peek above the line of the sidewalk. The window has black curtains with scalloped white details, accented with a teal green shade and reddish trim. The reddish door has teal trim around a half-moon shaped black window at the top. This door is tucked under the steep white-grey stairs angling up at right side of the image. A teal door, its panels highlighted in white, grey, and black lines, sits at the top of the stairs, with a white-curtained window at left. The curtains are textured with grey and black lines; a broad-leaved houseplant in a geometric-patterned red and pink pot sits inside the deep black-railed sill. The brownstone building is a warm, rusty red-brown, with horizontal grey-white lines. A speckled diagonal highlight against its front suggests a slant of sunlight. Pencilled along the bottom right edge is ['Elsie and the Child' Arnold Bennett].](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/346388_d7e18d921a95d5fc_n.jpg "Print, Illustration for Elsie and the Child")

![Illustration of an abstracted urban setting with dark, moody colors suggesting nighttime - black, deep mauve, soft emerald green, light grey, white. Filling the right side of the foreground is a black building or wall with bricks outlined in purple. A white sign near the top reads [CHEVAL]. Angling into the background from the bottom right to the middle of the left edge is a diagonal slash of grey-white sidewalk, with street below and lawn above. The street is deep black, with a roughly-textured purple and white arch shape in the bottom left corner. The lawn is green at left, sharply shading into black at right. In the upper left corner of the scene, a pair of white-clad figures walk across the lawn toward abstracted trees with flat green foliage and fat black trunks. The figures appear to be a woman in a long dress and young woman in a shorter dress, casting an angled pale grey shadow behind them. To the right of the trees, a purplish fence paling is marked out against the black background, with a white-framed window in a dark red building rising above a black wall. ['Elsie and the Child,' Arnold Bennett] is pencilled at the bottom right edge of the paper.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/346390_532a84b4d796f846_n.jpg "Print, Illustration for Elsie and the Child")
