Book excerpt: This handsome collection of full-color vignettes, featuring over 350 charming cuts of old-fashioned, rosy-checked children, will serve as an excellent resource for countless arts and crafts projects. Selected from rare Victorian-era chromolithographs, engaging images depict youngsters — singly and in pairs — outfitted in knee pants, folk costumes, high-top boots and ruffled dresses; carrying flowers, a birthday cake and baskets of fruits; dancing, playing croquet and wading in streams; cuddling animals, playing with toys, and much more. Ideal for use by papercrafters, decoupers, and collagists, these lovely illustrations can be easily reproduced on a color copier, making them ideal as well for royalty-free use by commercial artists and graphic designers.
