Antique print - Two Prints - Beautiful Fairy Poem -"Going to Town" by Elsie Blomfield 1916
A lovely image from an extremely rare vintage British Children's book

A set of two images - A beautifully illustrated Fairy Poem "Going to Town". As always with Elsie Blomfield, the cutest illustrations. Two fairies (Fluff and Silverwings) climb into a nutshell being pulled by a snail (A1 Safety Coach) - it's only 36 inches to Town. They are on their way to market - a bee carries a pot of honey on her shoulder, and ripe berries, new laid moth eggs, a pot of dew, decorate the borders. At 35 inches to go, the fairies decide the snail is too slow and hop out to wait for another coach. This one is pulled by a Grasshopper, and the poor fairies have a very rough ride. When they arrive in town the snail is already there, feasting on iced dew. A really lovely period illustration.

This print would be lovely for a child's nursery

Rare Art Print

Very Good - Slight Marking
There is some brown spotting to the left hand edge and top of the first print, some slight browning of the paper and other slight smudging. The paper is the thick porous kind which was popular during this period This is hardly noticeable and does not detract from the beauty of the print.

A Note on condition:
Minor imperfections are to be expected from antique prints due to their age and in many cases this does not affect the appearance of the print. Any blemishes that are noteworthy are described and shown in the picture where possible.
Colours will vary slightly depending on your monitor
Also Please Note: The watermark in the bottom right hand corner of the image does not appear on the print itself.
