Details

A charming antique chromolithograph from Fly Away Fairies and Baby Blossoms, illustrated by Louise Clarkson Whitelock and published in 1882 by E.P. Dutton in New York and Griffith and Farran in London. This enchanting Victorian book plate captures the era’s love of nature, innocence, and imagination, depicting a delicate fairy drifting among foliage while seated upon a graceful white dove.

Printed through the refined chromolithographic process, the image retains lovely layered color and delicate detail. Gentle foxing along the edges and a faint indentation visible in the photograph are consistent with age and have been considered in the price. Once part of a beloved Victorian children’s book, this original illustration offers a wonderful opportunity to frame a piece of 19th-century charm and storytelling.

  • Measures 10 x 7-3/4".

Collector’s Notes.

Louise Clarkson Whitelock chromolithographs and book plates, particularly those published by E.P. Dutton and Griffith and Farran, are sought after for their artistic quality and historical importance. Fairy subjects are among the most desirable themes, especially when the artist and publication date are clearly identified. Surviving examples from 1882 offer a rare glimpse into the golden age of Victorian color illustration.
