![[picture: Front Cover, The Lost Boy]](https://www.fromoldbooks.org/vanDyke-LostBoy/tn/000-Front-Cover-q93-330x500.jpg "[picture: Front Cover, The Lost Boy]")
Harpers Magazine commissioned the pictures shown here to accompany a story called “The Lost Boy” in the early 1900s some time. They were painted by N. C. Wyeth. The book I have, “The Lost Boy” by Henry van Dyke, contains black-and-white reproductions of the paintings. You can see the originals if you subscribe to Harper’s Magazine.
I have hand-coloured one of the illustrations very roughly to approximate a faded version of the original painting.
The actual story is religious, and I have not reproduced it.

The front cover is green with gilt lettering and a gilt illustration, presumably intended to be Jerusalem.
