The Voice of Autumn. Artist: Edward Dalziel, Engravers: the Dalziels. 1860. 3 ½ x 4 inches. William Cullen Bryant, Poems (London: Griffin, 1860), 319.
Dalziel illustrates the line about ‘shouting children’ (318), but elaborates the scene by showing girls and boys gathering autumn sticks for the forthcoming change in the weather. Typically, the artist idealizes the reality.
