Secret Project

By Amos Sewell

Located in Fort Washington, PA

Magazine Story Illustration Signed lower left Amos Sewell had a special empathy for children and also particularly enjoyed depicting homespun, rural subjects. These special gifts were ideally combined in the illustrations he made for a series of stories about Babe, Little Joe, Big Joe, and Uncle Pete by R.
