Reluctant Bather

Such a fun copyright free drawing of children at the beach. This reluctant bather by the sea needs a bit of coaxing to get into the water.

This illustration and a number of others comes from the 1880 children’s book Afternoon Tea. It was written by J.G. Sowerby and published by McLoughlin Bros., Inc.

This image is copyright free and in the public domain anywhere that extends copyrights 70 years after death or at least 120 years after publication when the original illustrator is unknown.
