Blog: May 4, 2019: This is a detail of a sentimental illustration from a forgotten book called Queen of the Meadow, by Robert Ellice Mack. Such works were the first to be written to appeal to the interests and fantasies of children. In earlier ages, the aim had been to exhort the child to pray regu-
larly and generally lead a God-fearing life. See the whole picture here. Previous blog posts are here.
