"The Land of Counterpane" is an illustration created by Jessie Willcox Smith, a prominent American illustrator known for her work in children's literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The illustration accompanies the poem of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson, which is featured in his classic collection of children's poetry, "A Child's Garden of Verses," first published in 1885. Smith's work often captures the innocence and wonder of childhood, and "The Land of Counterpane" is no exception.

In the illustration, Smith depicts the poem's theme of imaginative play, showing a sick child in bed, surrounded by toys and envisioning a world of adventure upon the quilt—a "counterpane"—that covers him. The artwork is characterized by Smith's attention to detail, soft color palette, and the warm, comforting atmosphere that was typical of her style. It reflects the child's perspective, with the bed transformed into a landscape of hills and valleys, where toy soldiers and other figures come to life in the child's imagination.

Jessie Willcox Smith's "The Land of Counterpane" has been reproduced in various editions of Stevenson's poetry collection and has become one of the iconic images associated with the poem. The illustration not only captures the essence of Stevenson's verse but also contributes to the visual culture of childhood at the turn of the century. It is a testament to Smith's ability to resonate with the experiences and dreams of children, making her work enduringly popular and influential in the field of children's book illustration.
