Three Little Girls - A September Afternoon in the Country
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an enchanting Victorian-era illustration, first published in 1879, depicting three delightful young girls enjoying a hot September day in the countryside. The girls, dressed in their best bonnets and summer dresses, sit comfortably on an old wooden fence, their laughter and joyful chatter carried by the gentle breeze. In the background, a vast cornfield stretches out, the golden ears of corn swaying in the sun. The girls' attire is reminiscent of the 1870s, with their high-waisted dresses and wide, floppy bonnets adorned with ribbons and flowers. One girl holds a jug, perhaps to quench their thirst, while another playfully tosses a dish between them. A fourth girl, peeking out from the window of a nearby farmhouse, observes the scene with a curious and affectionate smile. The idyllic setting is further enhanced by the presence of birds flitting about in the trees and the vibrant colors of the girls' clothing and the cornfield. The girls' carefree and innocent happiness is a testament to the simple pleasures of rural life, a scene that has captivated audiences for over a century. This beautiful illustration, titled "Three Little Girls," was created by the renowned Victorian artist Kate Greenaway and is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library. The image has been cherished for generations and continues to evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder, transporting us to a simpler time in history.
