Bring the nostalgic sweetness of early 20th-century American illustration to your décor with this framed grouping of three works by celebrated illustrator Bessie Pease Gutmann. Featuring “Her First Violets,” “Tonic for Dolly,” and “Dolls Introduced,” the colorful prints depict children at play with flowers and dolls in Gutmann’s sentimental, storybook style. The center image is signed in the print “Bessie Pease Gutmann,” while visible R.C. Co. copyright marks date these illustrations to 1909, placing the imagery within Gutmann’s early career. Presented together beneath glass in a substantial dark-stained wood frame with individual openings, this charming collection makes an especially appealing addition to an antique nursery, children’s illustration collection, or Victorian and Edwardian-inspired interior. Good antique condition with wear, toning, and discoloration consistent with age and display.
