PLANTATION BIRD LEGENDS BY MARTHA YOUNG ILLUSTRATIONS BY J.M. CONDÉ

 J. M. Condé was an early 20th century "golden age" book illustrator and comic strip artist best known for his ink and watercolor illustrations for books by Joel Chandler Harris and Albert Bigelow Paine. He also worked on at least two comic strips, one of which was derived from Harris's "Br'er Rabbit" stories.
