| Beautiful "What are Little Boys Made Of?" Snips and Snails and Puppy Dogs' Tails Poem 1932A beautiful print from an extremely rare vintage British Children's book.A really beautiful illustration to the poem "What are Little Boys Made Of?" A little boy is being catapulted out of a little boy making machine while a woman waits to catch him in her apron. Various workmen are passing up the ingredients to the machine - "Snips and Snails and (sadly) Puppy Dogs' Tails". Thankfully the dogs seem to be treated kindly, but do look slightly disconcerted to discover their tails are missing... - a wonderfully imaginative and detailed green tinted period illustration by A C Sandy - one of a pair - see "What are Little Girls Made Of?" Sugar and Spice and All things Nice" This print would be lovely for a child's nursery |
