Subject	Arts and Entertainment Daily Life Agriculture Plants and Animals Holidays Jack-o-lanterns Pumpkins
Place	Washington Court House (Ohio) Fayette County (Ohio)
Description	Little Folks Monthly, a magazine for children, featured the work of artist and illustrator Bess Bruce Cleaveland of Washington Court House, Ohio, on its November 1911 cover. The 8" x 5.75" (20.32 x 14.61 cm) image shows a toddler looking at a jack-o-lantern. Three other watercolors, which measure 4.75" x 5.75" (12.07 x 14.61 cm), depict a boy planting lettuce seeds, a boy holding a pumpkin, and two girls in a field of flowers. Two larger 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm) images show a young girl next to a fish pond and a young girl and an older woman shelling peas. The final 8.5" x 10" (21.59 x 25.4 cm) illustration is titled "Aladdin: He crossed to the niche where the lamp a light shed." Cleaveland (1876-1966) 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.
