Subject	Literary Ohio Arts and Entertainment Plants and Animals Easter Chickens
Place	Washington Court House (Ohio) Fayette County (Ohio)
Description	Artist and illustrator Bess Bruce Cleaveland (1876-1966) created these sketches for children to color. The first two 5.5" x 3.5" (13.97 x 8.89 cm) postcards were created for Easter in 1910. Children could send the cards after they colored in the pictures. The third 5" x 7" (12.7 x 17.78 cm) sketch, titled "Easter" depicts a young girl laying in the grass with a several chicks. The final sketch is 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm) and shows a girl sitting next to the fireplace. Cleaveland was born in Washington Court House, Ohio. She studied art at the Art Students League & Pratt Institute in New York, graduating in 1901. After teaching art for six years, Cleaveland turned to illustrating books, teacher's magazines, and other commercial art projects. Cleaveland worked in ink and watercolor. Children and animals were her favorite subjects. In addition to drawing most of the cats and dogs in Washington Court House, she visited zoos to study and sketch wild animals. Her backyard garden attracted birds, squirrels and rabbits, all of which she sketched. She illustrated the children's book Windmills and Wooden Shoes by Maude Grant, published in 1920.
