This treasury of nearly 400 copyright-free reproductions of charming Victorian chromolithographs recalls the innocence and sentimentality of a bygone era. Compiled by artist Carol Grafton from a variety of authentic 19th-century sources, these evocative, idealized motifs focus on such themes as holidays, love and friendship. Delightful illustrations, presented in a variety of sizes and shapes, include nostalgic views of Santa Claus, horse-drawn sleighs, holly, floral wreaths and bouquets, clasped hands, doves, cherubs, exotic birds, lovable dogs and cats, splendidly colored butterflies, affectionate messages ( Forget me not, Love guides me, Absent but ever dear ) and of course, children - hugging pets (and each other), strolling, gazing wistfully and playing musical instruments, plus scores of other eye-catching configurations.
