Children at Play

c. 1917

A vintage illustration depicting a group of children at play, some dressed in costumes resembling soldiers with flags and wooden rifles, while others wear everyday clothing. The scene is rendered in a sketchy, expressive style with sepia tones, and there is a signature at the bottom right corner. The paper appears aged with some discoloration around the edges.
