Earliest Known Picture Letter from Beatrix Potter 1892


These picture letters were written from her seaside vacation to Beatrix Potter's 4 year old nephew with pictures and words he could easily understand. Click on the link called "via" below each picture to see it full size and read further in The Morgan Library & Museum's description. It's so interesting to see the actual penmanship written with a dip pen and see the places where the ink was running low.





Enjoy this delightful glimpse into the life of our favorite author and illustrator.


Isn't this green book Christmas Tree the best?
Found on Tumblr.

Christmas Again by Carl Larsson 1907


 Carl Larsson 'Now is it Christmas Again' 1907 
 “Nu är det jul igen” 
(Now it is Christmas time again) 
This is an old Scandinavian Christmas song. 
It is often sung while dancing around the Christmas tree. 
 The painting shows the interior of Carl Larsson's home in Sweden at Christmas time. 
 The huge oil painted triptych is held at the Helsingborgs Museum.
Among family members in colorful costumes he has placed 
the virgin Mary and baby Jesus in front of the cupboard in the center.
