Summay:
The image depicts several traditional American childhood activities, including flying the three best known traditional American kite designs. Don't bridle your boxkite as shown in the picture, it won't fly! I know it is shown that way in several kitemaking books. I have often wondered whether artists depicting kites have ever observed kites flying.
