EDITORS COMMENTS
Little Pollie Flinders: A Victorian-era Tale of Mischief and Discipline, as Illustrated in 1895 In this enchanting illustration from the late Victorian era, a young girl named Pollie Flinders sits among the cinders in a cozy kitchen, warming her pretty little toes. The scene is set in the 1890s, a time when nursery rhymes, songs, and stories held a special place in the hearts of children and adults alike. The decorative border, adorned with intricate leaf and leaf motifs, reflects the Art Nouveau style that was popular during this period. The illustration tells a simple yet endearing story of mischief and discipline. Pollie, with her rosy cheeks and mischievous grin, seems blissfully unaware of the trouble she has caused. Her mother, who stands behind her, looks disapproving as she catches her daughter spoiling her nice new clothes. The mother's stern expression and the whip she holds suggest that Pollie is in for a scolding. The scene is further brought to life by the presence of a curious cat, peering over the mother's shoulder, adding a touch of whimsy to the illustration. The kitchen, with its old-fashioned stove and wooden cabinets, evokes a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. This charming illustration, created in 1895, offers a glimpse into the past and the world of nursery rhymes and stories that captivated the imaginations of children and adults during the Victorian era.
