EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming 19th-century illustration captures a peaceful scene as the day comes to an end. The print, titled "Z: Z is for Zachary, shutting the gate; So Good Night, Little Children; It's Getting Quite Late" depicts a young boy named Zachary closing a wooden gate in the countryside. As twilight settles over the rural landscape, it signals bedtime for the little ones. The artwork is part of Aunt Louisa's wee wee stories: Country Alphabet collection and was created by J. Howard around 1870. The chromolithography printing technique brings vibrant colors to life, showcasing intricate details in every stroke. Measuring at 27.5 x 23.5 cm, this delightful illustration showcases not only Zachary but also various animals that inhabit the countryside. A playful puppy accompanies him as he completes his evening task. The handwritten dedication from 1875 adds an extra layer of history and sentimentality to this piece of art. With its nostalgic charm and timeless appeal, this print serves as a reminder of simpler times and cherished childhood memories. Whether displayed in a nursery or added to an art collection, this vintage illustration evokes warmth and innocence while celebrating both nature and human connection within rural America during the late nineteenth century.
