Nearly forgotten but glorious art, envisionings and historical oddments from the back corners of the internet
Illustrations for children from the far side of where the fairies live. Born in Scotland, Jessie Marion King lived from 1875 to 1949 but her charming ladies with their flower halos live forever.
Artwork in the public domain because it was first published outside the United States prior to January 1, 1923. Images taken from “Seven Happy Days”, a special 1913 special Christmas supplement that the artist did for “The Studio Magazine, which was issued in loose paper wrappers. This is a small sampling. There are many more grand images that you can find via the various blog links. Enjoy!
On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
