EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a whimsical world of enchantment with this charming turn-of-the-20th-century image of children's faces hidden among the delicate petals of pansies. This print, created by artist Irene Marcellus, is part of a series published by Ernest Nister around the year 1906. The popularity of such designs during this era is evident in the widespread use of children's face flowers as motifs on Easter greetings cards. The pansy, with its distinctive five petals, provides the perfect canvas for the artist's imaginative interpretation. Each petal reveals a child's face, their rosy cheeks and bright eyes bringing the flower to life. The playful arrangement of the faces adds an element of surprise and delight, inviting viewers to explore the image further. The soft pastel colors and intricate details of the illustration evoke a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. The delicate beauty of the pansies and the innocent charm of the children's faces make this print a timeless treasure. As you hold this piece in your hands, imagine the joy it brought to those who received it as an Easter gift over a century ago. The artistry and craftsmanship of this print serve as a reminder of the enduring power of nature and the imagination to bring happiness and wonder to our lives.
