Description

An etched pictorial bookplate on white paper with faded stains and black ink. There are three children singing. There's a little girl holding a book open, a boy about the same height as her, wrapping an arm around a younger boy. They look to be standing in a garden with tall foliage. Curving around the frame is a sentence "I See America Go Singing to Her Destiny. Walt Whitman". On the bottom "Ex libris W Otto Miessner" is written and there's a banner with music notes.
