In Case They Wanted Us to Play!
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Delightful 1918 Illustration by Minnie Asprey This enchanting illustration, titled "In Case They Wanted Us to Play!", is a charming creation by the talented Minnie Asprey, dating back to the early 1910s. The image, which captures the whimsy and innocence of childhood, is a visual representation of a popular nursery rhyme or supposition. Minnie Asprey's illustration features a group of children, bundled up against the cold, standing at the foot of a snow-covered mountain. They are holding snowballs in their hands, ready for a snowball fight. The children's rosy cheeks and bright expressions convey their excitement and anticipation. In the background, fairies can be seen peeking out from behind the trees and playing among the snow, adding a magical touch to the scene. The title of the illustration, "In Case They Wanted Us to Play!", suggests that the children are waiting for permission or an invitation to engage in the snowball fight. This playful notion is reminiscent of many nursery rhymes and games that involve elements of surprise and imagination. The illustration's muted color palette and intricate details, such as the children's knitted hats and scarves, add to its timeless appeal. Minnie Asprey's ability to capture the essence of childhood wonder and the magic of nature makes this illustration a true treasure from the 1910s. Whether used as a decorative piece in a nursery or as a conversation starter in a living room, "In Case They Wanted Us to Play!" is a delightful addition to any collection of vintage illustrations. This image is sure to bring a smile to the faces of young and old alike.
