EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this charming print of Snowbirds by Philip Boileau. The two pretty young ladies, dressed in matching sailor suits and dark bonnet-style hats, exude a sense of innocence and grace that was characteristic of Boileau's illustrations.
Boileau was known for his depictions of dignified women, and these "Boileau Girls" quickly became a beloved part of popular culture during his time. With their rosy cheeks and elegant attire, they embody the idealized image of femininity from the turn of the century.
In this winter scene set in America, these snowbirds stand out against the snowy backdrop with their timeless beauty. The art nouveau style adds an extra layer of sophistication to the piece, capturing a moment frozen in time.
As you gaze at this print, you can't help but be transported to a different era where simplicity reigned supreme and elegance was key. Let yourself be enchanted by these lovely ladies as they take you on a journey through history with just one glance.
