This beautiful recycled book plate print called "The Little Peach” is from the 1904 version of “Poems of Childhood” by Eugene Field (1850 – 1895), illustrated by Maxfield Parrish (1870 – 1966) and published by Charles Scribner’s Sons of New York. Field was a newspaper journalist before turning his hand to poetry where he became well known for his light hearted poems for children. Parrish had an artistic career that lasted for more than half a century and helped to shape the Golden Age of Illustration and the future of American visual arts. He devised many innovative techniques which no other major artist has successfully copied. Books illustrated by Parrish are highly sought after by collectors and many of his illustrations are so popular they are still reproduced and found in books printed today. The soft muted colors and age of this print make it unique in appearance and texture. His art features dazzlingly luminous colors. The print definition and quality are typical of that time period as well, lacking much of the sharp clarity that is available today with offset printing, but adds timeless charm to this beautiful image. The distinctive Parrish style offers a glimpse into art and illustrations created at the turn of the century. The original book page measures 7 x 9-1/4” however, the finished wall art you will receive is professionally matted with a jet black border ready to fit in a 8x10 standard frame. Please note this is an authentic 110 year old vintage print, not a reprint or reproduction. ******************************************************************* SPECIAL OFFER Buy any 4 prints from my shop for a 15% discount Enter code BUY4GET15PERCENT at checkout *************************************************************************** Buy with confidence.
