Book Illustrations based on O. Henry's The Last Leaf, from the public domain. It's about Johnsy, a young woman with pneumonia who believes she'll die when the last leaf falls from a vine outside her window. Her roommate, Sue, tries to help, but it's their neighbor, Behrman, an elderly artist, who secretly paints a leaf to give Johnsy hope. His selfless act saves her life, though he tragically dies from pneumonia shortly afterward.
