Illustrator Margaret Tarrant (1888-1959), of London, was nearly a child herself when she illustrated Water Babies at the age of 20. She illustrated children's books in the late 1800s and early 1900s. I want to dive into her soft pastel sea world in this illustration from Water Babies. She truly captured the wonder of childhood. This illustration of a little girl smelling the flowers is captivating with a touch of fantasy. Yet, it reveals how small children perceive a world where everything is bigger than they are. This illustration inspired one of my wool paintings. I could spend hours gazing at Margaret Tarrant's illustrations and gaining inspiration. Tarrant was prolific in illustrating the fairy world. I love everything about this Christmas card--the subdued and limited color palette, the cuteness of the little robin and that sweet expression on the little elf's face. Tarrant illustrated postcards and calendars for the Medici Society. Another triumph in pastels by Margaret Tarrant, Fairy Sea Horses. Truly inspiring. Don't you want to go on the boat to fairyland? Tarrant was also known for her religious illustrations of Jesus. I found it interesting that Margaret Tarrant was good friends with another Medici illustrator Molly Brett. They met at the Guildford School of Art. She went to live on Brett's estate when she was older. She was also a good friend to well-known fairy artist Cecily Mary Barker. One of the best biographies of Margaret Tarrant is on Mystical Myth. See my Pinterest board Vintage Children's Book Illustration.

The rise of photography in the mid-late 19th-century began the move away from an oral and literary tradition towards one based on image. A photograph can describe a moment in time more viscerally than the written word. Think of that picture of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald. A million words have been written … Continue reading "The Astonishing Cinematic Autochrome Photography of Heinrich Kühn"

Happy New Year! We are all so glad to be done with 2020 and hopeful for what lies ahead in 2021. But today, I want to take you back. Way back. All the way to the 1990s with some super-relatable (and funny) 90s memes. If you're reading this post, you probably at least lived through
This is a Qty of 3 Vintage 1960's Tupperware Popsicle Makers. No Tray. They are made of plastic. Good Condition with normal age wear. They come apart for cleaning and I would give them a gentle cleaning before using them, and I will let the buyer do that as I do not like to alter antiques and collectibles. They measure approx. 3 1/2 inches long. If you have any more questions, please ask before you purchase. I ship to the USA. No International Shipping.
This was a fun find. Some things just get kept for no reason. They end up in a bag in the back of a drawer and then in a box. I just loved all the colors.
