A setting for a poem (see link) about keeping a sense of childish joy and wonder as we grow older.

Everyone on this beach is fully clothed, including shoes and socks, which suggests to me a somewhat restrained sense of joy and wonder.

No artist or engraver credited. And is that a seagull eating a squirrel at upper left?
