printed on beige paper. The cover of the magazine for October 1870. A white woman sits in an armchair, with two young boys and a little girl looking at something on her lap. At her feet, a girl and a boy read a book together. They are in a room with a window seat beneath a window through which a tree is visible. On the floor is a toy drum with two drumsticks. The scene is framed by fines and flowers, with the words "The Children's Hour" above the figures. Below the figures are the words "A Magazine for the Little Ones. Edited by T. S. Arthur." It is printed by T. S. Arthur & Sons, 809 & 811 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia. The illustration is signed by the engraver: Lauderbach. At the top of the page, the original owner's name is handwritten: Miss Clara Kiliam.
