Doctor Dick. London, Ernest Nister, New York, E.P. Dutton & Co., 1890
This is a short children’s storybook, but the artwork is charming. I’ve included the 4 full-page illustrations below the fold. [Read more…]

Not your average love story, but rather a fine fable about an infant raised by bears and his ultimate rescue and return.

I fell in love with this book! There is only 1 coloured illustration in it, however, the plain drawings are charming and delightful and entirely typical of the Art Nouveau Period. I’ve included all of the full-page illustrations, plus a few others, but if you get a chance I encourage you to check out the entire book. (The address is at the end) There are small illustrations on most pages and the story is a sweet look at how the fairies work as the seasons progress.
