Colorful illustrated calendar from The Youth’s Companion, dated A.D. 1879, showing October, November, and December months. The central illustration depicts three children harvesting apples: one boy in a hat gathering apples into a large basket, another boy reaching up to pick fruit from the tree, and a girl in a long yellow dress holding a small pail. Decorative floral borders surround the scene. At the bottom, a motto reads: ‘Not by companionship alone, by what one reads, a man is known.’
🍂 Happy First Day of Fall! 🍁 As we bid farewell to summer's warmth, let's embrace the autumn!
