Augustus Köllner, The Rag Tender. Pen and ink lithograph, tinted with one stone in City Sights for Country Eyes (Philadelphia: American Sunday-School Union, [1856]). Courtesy of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

 

Philadelphia artist Augustus Köllner drew this American Sunday-School Union moral lesson book illustration with pen and ink as opposed to the more often used crayon. Köllner was one of the few American lithographic artists to employ only this method. It was more typically used by letterers, music writers, and cartographers.
