Hanging Out The Clothes


An illustration from one of my old picture books for children. I love the flowering trees used as clothesline posts. Notice the high brick wall to "hide" the laundry, especially the undergarments. Randolph Caldecott was the illustrator.



See all of my old posts about this illustrator and MANY more examples of his delightful artwork. I love each and every one and you will too. Enjoy. xo

Caldecott was certainly a gifted artist. His work has stood the test of time and entertained countless people. I decided to look him up and discovered he died at just 39 years of age. He accomplished much in a short time.

We had three clotheslines. Underwear went on the middle line. :)
