EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming lithograph print captures the innocence and joy of childhood in the 19th century. The image depicts a classic playground staple, a see-saw, with two children happily playing together. The vibrant colors and detailed illustration by Oskar Pletsch bring this nostalgic scene to life.
The artwork is from the book "Buttercups and Daisies for Little Children," featuring illustrations by Pletsch and printed in colors by Leighton Brothers. This educational book aimed to entertain and educate young readers, showcasing the importance of playtime and imagination.
In an era before technology dominated children's entertainment, simple games like see-saw provided endless hours of fun and enjoyment. The artist beautifully captures the carefree spirit of youth, reminding us of simpler times when laughter echoed through playgrounds.
As we gaze upon this delightful print, we are transported back to a time when childhood was filled with wonder and exploration. It serves as a reminder that some things never change - the universal joy found in playful moments shared between friends.
This timeless piece is not just a work of art but a window into history, preserving the magic of childhood for generations to come.
